Behind the glass wall you see above is a surprisingly quiet garden…
… surrounding the Quai Branly Museum (Musée du Quai Branly = « MQB ») which opened in 2006. It features indigenous art, cultures… There are actually several buildings - libraries, offices, shops, a cafeteria… 
Spectacular is also the “green wall”, part of the exterior of the office part of the museum.
When the dark falls, you have a wonderful surprise.
The architect is Jean Nouvel. Here are some of his finished, ongoing, planned projects. In Paris, the most well-known finished ones are the Cartier Foundation and the Arab World Institute.
I will try to make a post about the museum interior one day.
(This post is pre-programmed; I’m back in Sweden for a couple of days.)
