Museo de Quai Branley La apertura del Museo de Quai Branly, en junio del 2006, ayudó a mostrar culturas incomprendidas durante muchos años y, finalmente, las hizo accesibles a un público más amplio. 300.000 obras y objetos de África, Asia, Oceanía y América constituyen la colección, cuya misión es conservar, informar y enriquecerse. Como recurso para conectar las culturas del mundo, la colección es un lugar de partida a partir del cual el museo ha dado forma a su identidad: un museo del siglo XXI con innovadora arquitectura y museografía, en el corazón de la capital. La intención del museo no es enseñar des de una posición autoritaria, sino crear conexiones entre las diferentes culturas mientras se despierta la curiosidad a los visitantes con intereses diferentes.

Not only can you experience great shelling in a remote location, you will have the opportunity to see dolphin, possibly sea turtles or manatee, and a multitude of birds such as ospreys, eagles, roseate spoonbills, pelicans and the like while cruising to your island.
