Quai-Branly Jacques Chirac museum opens doors to public to honour ex-president The Quai-Branly Jacques Chirac Museum, dedicated to primitive works of art, will remain free of charge for about ten days to honour the former President of France whose name it bears. Chirac, a former mayor of Paris and twice-elected president of France, died in Paris Thursday at the age of 86. A visit to the museum in November 2014 was, moreover, Chirac's last public outing.
