Drawing on a little-known history in France, the exhibition honors three women who each reappropriated the codes of anthropology to emancipate themselves and become key activist and artistic figures of the 20th century. Drawing on a little-known history in France, the exhibition honors three women who each reappropriated the codes of anthropology to emancipate themselves and become key activist and artistic figures of the 20th century.

Through the portraits of novelist Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960), journalist Eslanda Goode Robeson (1895-1965) and dancer Katherine Dunham (1909-2006), the exhibition explores a different approach to anthropology. Through their daring and innovative approaches, these three African-American personalities were able to adopt a different stance from that of white anthropologists, and thus write a different history of the discipline.

Suspended on a series of pillars, the Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac features a vertical garden on the Seine side and enormous multicolored blocks on another. And once inside the grounds, the horizontal garden is full of birds and plants, walkways and paths.

Inside the museum, it's an anthropological journey around the world via art and artifacts. The permanent collection reaches back as far as the Neolithic period, and spans Oceania, Asia, Africa and the America.

Saw the exquisite Kehinde Wiley exhibition; fantastic paintings of leaders of various countries in Africa. Beautifully curated but you have to be careful in the dimly-lit (for effect)...
