Jardin d'été Celebrates 20 Years at Musée du Quai Branly

This summer, the garden of the Musée du Quai Branly – Jacques Chirac transforms into a free, festive open-air festival celebrating its 20th anniversary. From July 4 to August 2, 2026, visitors can enjoy a rich program of outdoor cinema, workshops, storytelling, guided tours, quizzes, and evening events under the shade of parasols.

The 2026 edition is themed around animals, echoing the museum's exhibition "Plumes du paradis." Highlights include family-friendly activities daily, "Découverte" Wednesdays, outdoor cinema Thursdays with quizzes, and weekend workshops and storytelling. Free Thursday night openings run from July 9 to 30, along with green walks and the Salon d'été reading and games area.

With its eclectic mix of cultural offerings for all ages, Jardin d'été provides a joyful summer escape in the heart of Paris. The program also features a concert by the Académie de musiques transculturelles on August 30.
