A major new museum is about to open in the heart of Paris. The favoured project of President Chirac, the core of its collection will be comprised of artefacts from Asia, the Americas, the Pacific region and Africa - all regions in which France once had colonies. It was preceded by a prestigious exhibition in the Louvre of sculptures from these regions. But is this an artistic venture or an ethnographic one? That these questions are still being hotly contested, some six years after the project was officially inaugurated by Chirac and as the Museedu Quai Branly is about to open, speaks to how vital they are to the nation's understanding of, and relationship to, its colonial past
