European Museum Night

On Saturday, May 23, 2026, the masks and totems of the Quai Branly museum will come to life under a unique nighttime lighting. For one exceptional evening, the building designed by Jean Nouvel opens its doors well beyond its usual hours to offer privileged access to its collections from around the world. Strolling through the plush ramps and lush gardens in the moonlight radically transforms the perception of the works of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. This springtime event allows you to wander among the masterpieces of extra-Western art in a mysterious and intimate atmosphere. It’s the perfect opportunity to explore the permanent collection galleries without the rush of the day. Plan your visit for this sensory journey that begins at the end of the day and extends late into the night.
