Headdresses from around the World, The Antoine de Galbert Collection

Have you ever been interested in what different headdresses represent? French collector Antoine de Galbert has asked himself this question and offers you a journey around the world with an impressive collection.

Discover the history of over 300 headdresses from Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. You will follow a path punctuated with images and videos, allowing you to understand what these hats mean to each person and, thus, to have a unique window into cultural diversity.

In addition to a cultural journey, you will also have an artistic journey, since these pieces testify to exceptional know-how and great creativity. The artisans who made them combined fabrics, feathers, wood, hair, precious stones, and more to create true works of art. Reminding us of the thousand-and-one reasons why we have covered our heads since the beginning of time, the exhibition raises questions about notions that make up the universal nature of humankind.”
