"Primitive Art" Museum

So, for one of my class trips I went to the Quai Branly Museum which has African, Oceanic, Asian and Indigenous Australian Art. We had to read a whole book about it before we visited, so we were ready to see how racist and awful it was. Some parts were definitely not PC. The windows were printed with pictures of the jungle, which gave the whole thing a very Heart of Darkness feel, and honestly I just felt like the whole building was cramped, dark and poorly designed. Some parts were cool, but on the whole I thought it was problematic. On the plus side, it had some really nice napping areas (probably not the original function). Oh and also some really beautiful pieces.

Love,
