Fondation EDF
The museum's lighting was created by the artist and lighting visual artist, Yann Kersalé
The following areas incorporate lighting:
- glass boarding
- central building
- pools in rue de l'Université
- pools on the museum terrace
- the vertical garden
- the theatre of greenery
- all of the garden paths leading to the museum
- the fire escape and access to the museum restaurant
The lighting equipment has been integrated into the architecture in most of these areas.
Through its Fondation created in 1987, EDF acts to develop patronage initiatives in the world of culture, involving particularly the enhancement of heritage.
EDF wanted to lend its support to the musée du quai Branly and associate its name with the museum's lighting. The Fondation EDF is now a member of the Founding Patrons' Circle of the museum and is assisting in the emergence of the Institution.
Highlighting of a Moai head in the heart of the museum
The Fondation EDF carries out work focused on the solidarity that is as much societal as environmental. Its sponsorship reflects and valorizes the diversity brought to the work in nature and in our societies.
In 2008, it dedicated an exhibition to Easter Island in its Cultural Space in Paris. In the extension of this demonstration that permitted a broad public to discover this civilization, its history, and its heritage, it today has the pleasure of bringing its support to the presentation of Moai head, an exceptional object of world heritage, in the entry hall of the musée du quai Branly.
Upon the occasion of this commitment the Fondation EDF had filmed the transport and installation operations of the Moai head, and interviewed Stéphane Martin, President of the musée du quai Branly. Discover these two videos below:
