At the inauguration of the Musée du Quai Branly in June 2006, leading figures from around the world gathered around round tables to engage in a fundamental reflection on the future of such an institution. Who owns the objects? What is the place of contemporary art in a museum dedicated primarily to traditional art? Is the museum a secular or sacred space? These were some of the questions debated by researchers, artists, curators, philosophers, and writers.
