In addition to holding the best collection of indigenous art I have ever seen, Musee du Quai Branly in Paris has incredibly well-designed exhibit spaces. Galleries covering the arts of Asia, Oceania, Africa and South America flank a sinuous wall wrapped in leather that contains seats, nooks for watching videos and listening to sounds, as well as embossed designs and maps that allow visitors to touch the shapes prevalent in each culture’s original artwork. While these maps allow non-sighted visitors to explore the forms and textures of the artworks on display, they allow all visitors to take a closer look at the masterpieces in an unusually intimate way.
