suggestions for your visit

So as not to miss a moment and to still have time to take a look around the book shop at the end of your visit (beautiful books, reference books on the primitive arts, posters, postcards, etc.), opt for an audio-guide tour of the permanent collections (adults, family, couples).

Smart Quai Branly!
If you have a spare 2 hours on a Sunday: attend the Forum, question time on the central mezzanine of the permanent collections (1 hour, all audiences, every Sunday at 3pm).  More than just a questions-and-answers session, this is the opportunity to discuss the artefacts and your personal experience of the museum.

Free entry, limited places.

In the early morning or afternoon, let your curiosity guide you and take the time to discover the permanent collections and the exhibitions (dossier and anthropology), step into the Jacques Kerchache reading room to take a rest and fill up on information, and then take a “story time” tour or a themed tour to find out more about the artefacts, nations and traditions.

Finally, take a tea break in the Garden Café, opposite the monumental Moai Head!

The “A day at the museum” ticket is perfect for you (€13/€9.50)!
It gives you access to the permanent collections (along with the dossier exhibitions and the large anthropology exhibition) and the Garden Gallery (temporary international exhibitions).  This ticket lets you take your time to saunter, read (in the book shop or in the Jacques Kerchache reading room)… and get hands-on in an artistic workshop (music, dance, visual arts: 2 hours, €10/€7).
And at lunch time, you’ll be spoilt for choice between the garden café, the terrace restaurant or the tropical garden.  Let your taste buds guide you!
