Book - To Other Worlds
Musée du quai Branly - Jacques Chirac
Description
This book of tales offers a poetic and imaginative journey through the world's great oral traditions, blending mythological stories with works from the collections of the Musée du Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac.
Brought to life by the storytelling of Muriel Bloch and the evocative illustrations of HifuMyio, it revives iconic characters: the King of Ségou, the young god Maui, the mischievous Monkey King, and Sedna, the Inuit goddess of the deep sea.
Each tale draws on African, Polynesian, Chinese, and Inuit cultures and is accompanied by an object from the museum's collections, creating a dialogue between narrative and heritage. This interplay lends a new dimension to the stories, where objects and myths illuminate one another.
A work that is both narrative and visual, inviting young and old alike to discover the richness of the world's imaginations.
