Did you know? The Musée du Quai Branly in Paris is marking its 20th anniversary this year! Opened on June 20, 2006, this iconic Parisian cultural landmark was renamed in 2016 in honor of former president Jacques Chirac, the project’s driving force. Well known to enthusiasts of world arts and cultures, the Musée du Quai Branly houses collections from Africa, the Americas, Asia, and Oceania.

For its 20th anniversary, the Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac Museum is going all out and announcing a festive weekend on Friday, June 19, Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21, 2026. What’s on the menu? A Cuban ball, an all-night cinema marathon, flash tours with a musical twist, plus workshops and dancing.

The music is also on the menu, with a series of concerts announced to open the event, scheduled for Friday, June 19. For the occasion, the museum plans to transform itself into an outdoor festival and invites the curious to its gardens, as well as to its rooftop.

So, who will make live music resonate on June 19 for the 20th anniversary of the Quai Branly Museum? Get ready to discover a buzzing and bold line-up that shines a light on electro, pop, rap, mainstream pop, and traditional Manding music. The renowned rapper Oxmo Puccino, who released his 2025 album "La Hauteur de La Lune," will be on the bill, as will Ballaké Sissoko, heir to the great Manding traditions. Also expected are the author, composer and Franco-Algerian beatmaker Danyl, the Parisian artist Andy 4000, and Kiddy Smile, planning an electrifying DJ set. Drag shows, along with dancers, are also on the programme.
