the Musée du Quai Branly will be on show for four months at the Château de Vogüé in the French county of the Ardèche. Chasses Magiques (Magical Hunts) immerses visitors in the materials and icons of ancestral and universal practices: hunting over time, across the continents and through a range of traditional cultures in Africa, Oceania, and America, revealing their symbolic value - the mystical relationship between the hunter and his prey.
