Cheveux chéris, exhibition

The art of hair.

At the intersection of anthropology, the history of ancient and contemporary art, fashion and manners, the exhibition at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris examines individual issues of intimacy and sociability through the universal theme of hair.

Addressing the idea that individuals and social groups display personality through hairstyle, presented first in terms of frivolity: competing blonds, brunettes or redheads, straight or frizzy as seen in a wide range of classical paintings, sculptures and author photographs.
Much of the exhibition is devoted to Mana who gave birth in the world to multiple "magic" objects.
