Pitch of the visit “The Legend of the Masks”
Whether they are made of wood, leather, shells or feathers, masks all have a very specific function. Terrifying or reassuring, they are used as initiatory masks, funeral masks, masks for the theatre, masks to say that you are the strongest or to settle a conflict…
They also allow men to come into contact with gods, spirits and nature…
The tour guide will take you to the musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac to discover the masks, their legend(s) and origin(s)
Sometimes magical, sometimes terrible or disturbing but definitely fascinating, discover with your family these stories that will take you on a journey without leaving Paris 🙂
