Abstract

André Desvallées s'interroge à contre-courant sur la nécessité d'avoir dépouillé le musée de l'Homme pour créer le musée du Quai Branly, en isolant les objets les plus spectaculaires et en abandonnant toutes les collections qui représentent avec beaucoup plus de détails toutes ces cultures que nous connaissons mal. A une époque où les peuples revendiquent la restitution des biens culturels dont ils ont été dépouillés, sont évoquées les expériences muséales qui répondent le mieux à ces revendications identitaires.

Abstract

In 1990 Jacques Chirac, the future president of France and a passionate fan of non-European art, met Jacques Kerchache, a maverick art collector with the lifelong ambition of displaying African sculpture in the holy temple of French culture, the Louvre. Together they began laying plans, and ten years later African fetishes were on view under the same roof as the 'Mona Lisa'. Then, in 2006, amidst a maelstrom of controversy and hype, Chirac presided over the opening of a new museum dedicated to primitive art in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower: the Muse;e du Quai Branly. 'Paris Primitive' recounts the massive reconfiguration of Paris's museum world that resulted from Chirac's dream, set against a backdrop of personal and national politics, intellectual life, and the role of culture in French society. Along with exposing the machinations that led to the MQB's creation, Sally Price addresses the thorny questions it raises about the legacy of colonialism, the balance between aesthetic judgments and ethnographic context, and the role of institutions of art and culture in an increasingly diverse France. Anyone with a stake in the myriad political, cultural, and anthropological issues raised by the MQB will find Price's account fascinating.
