Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac

The Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac (; ), located in Paris, France, is a museum designed by French architect Jean Nouvel to feature the indigenous art and cultures of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. The museum collection comprises more than a million objects (ethnographic objects, photographs, documents, etc.), of which 3,500 are on display at any given time in both permanent and temporary thematic exhibits. A selection of objects from the museum is also displayed in the Gallery of the Five Continents of the Louvre.

The Museum Quai Branly (MQB) opened in 2006; it is the newest of the major museums in Paris and received 1.15 million visitors in 2016. It is jointly administered by the French Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Higher Education and Research, and serves as both a museum and as a center for research.

The museum is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, on the left bank of the Seine, close to the Eiffel Tower and the Alma Bridge. Since its conception, the museum has been the subject of praise as well as controversy, with some journalists, scholars, and governments calling for the repatriation of parts of its collections that were acquired through colonial conquest.
