Dearly beloved Hair...

Wednesday, 9th, we visited the Quai Branly museum and as we were curious, after a visit of the aboriginals exhibition, we decided to have a look into the part of the museum which was dedicated to hair.

And after a visit devoted to the hairstyles of stars such Ava Gardner or Brigitte Bardot and the discover of Marie-Antoinette’s haircut, we had quite a shock when we faced mummies and shrunken heads.

 

But we managed to stifle our horrified screams, and we remained stoic and dignified (as usual). We were impressed by the beautiful silky hair of the shrunken heads, perfectly preserved (unlike their faces, but it’s not the subject).

 

We also enjoyed the exotic ornaments of faraway countries like New-Zeland, China...

In brief we found this exhibition interesting and we left the museum filled with wonder.
