Musée du Quai Branly, Paris, France

During the two weeks I took off blogging in March I went to see my family in France. I had a list of museums I wanted to visit during my holidays.
Le musée du quai Branly is very close to the Eiffel Tower in Paris. I went there because I wanted to see the museum collection on Mayas and Aztec artefacts. Not too much on this section but lots on African, Asian, Oceanian and North American art. (ceramics, costumes, jewelery, etc.)
From the outside the museum is beautiful with its garden and wallscape façade.




The flowing river of words leading to the entrance of the exhibitions.
That was magical!
"The River" Installation by Charles Sandison

Next post : What inspired me for my own work and for art classes at this museum?

Artwork inspired by Hundertwasser at Kanata Montessori School (part 1)

Friedensreich  Hundertwasser (1928 – 2000)


For this collage, students focused on common themes used in his work such as spiral, "lollipop" trees, drop of water shape.
