Library of the Quai Branly Museum, Museum library and media center in 7th arrondissement, France.
The Library of the Quai Branly Museum is a specialized library and media center in the 7th arrondissement that focuses on non-Western art and cultures. It holds books, periodicals, and audio-visual materials covering artistic practices and traditions from across the globe.
It opened in 2006 as part of the Musée du Quai Branly, merging collections from earlier ethnological institutions across Paris. This consolidation created one of Europe's most extensive research centers for documenting non-Western artistic traditions.
Researchers and visitors can access materials about indigenous art and traditions from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas through physical and digital resources.
It is open Tuesday through Sunday with reading areas and digital access available for researchers and general visitors alike. Check which materials are available on-site and understand the collection organization before your visit.
The collection documents roughly 450,000 museum objects, with some pieces spanning thousands of years of history. This depth of documentation makes it a rare place where you can trace the development of art forms that receive little attention elsewhere.
