Today we visited the new Musee du quai Branly. This is a relatively new museum which exhibits indigenous artifacts from cultures from all over the world. It has sculptures, tools, musical instruments, textiles, masks, etc. Great stuff on show from Meso-America; Aztec, Olmec, Inca, and other cultures. Also great stuff from South-East Asia and Australia. As we were limited in available time we focused on the above areas, and we will visit Africa, and North America next time. This is a wonderful museum.

One of the most fascinating exhibits we saw was an installation which took some 15000 place-names and ethnologic terms to create an animated river of projected words that is controlled by a computer program which used fluid dymamics to have the words flow down the long ramp leading from the entryway up to the exhibition hall. Entrancing.
