Quai Branly Museum, Paris
The design of the Quai Branly Museum was entrusted to Jean Nouvel, one of the most prominent contemporary French architects of international renown. The building occupied by the museum’s administration is covered with a vertical garden of 18,000 plants from all over the world, in coherence with the museum’s vocation. Over time, other plants have made their way in, brought by the wind or the birds.

We never went in here in 2017, but did admire that green wall as we walked along toward the tower. Thanks for the memories. Allan

It seems to be a common reaction, the wall is better known than the works it houses 🙂 I will show you some of them.

It is a temptation in many countries to try to use the buildings walls as a support for vegetation to improve the quality of cities. These are just the beginnings.
