The Philippines: Archipelago of Exchange exhibition at the Musée du quai Branly, Paris
Loosely translated: This exhibit on the Philippines ranges from the Cordillera in the North and travels to the South to Mindanao and shows considerable archaeological treasures from very ancient times.
One part of the exhibit focuses on the Land—the highlanders who sculpted ancient carvings way before European contact. The other part focuses on the Sea—the people of Mindanao who were organized in sultanates, engaged in great commerce and produced works of art oriented to the sea.
This is an exhibit that is very poetic and elegant, and allows us to discover an entirely unknown world.
Thanks to Jomari for the translation.
This is the first major exhibition in France in the last twenty years devoted to the Philippines.

The Filipino community here in Toulouse, France are given a special free entrance for a certain day/period, I think. Too bad i couldn’t go.

lola_basyang: Go! For the exhibit, which we hear is fabulous, and the Jean Nouvel building. If you don’t want to spend the 10 euros, go on the first Sunday of the month when admission is free.
