The art of the mask, whether linked to ancestral rites, theater, or dance, bears witness, across time and space, to an extraordinary variety of forms and materials—wood, fur, fabrics, plant fibers, stone, papier-mâché. The 100 priceless masks brought to light by the Musée du quai Branly are all at the heart of community life and reveal to us the powerful link between the world of the living and the magical forces of the invisible.
