The MEG Library houses an extensive collection focused on social and cultural anthropology. In addition to books and periodicals, it offers a variety of multimedia resources, including DVDs, CDs, comics, and children’s books, all tied to the museum’s collection. The library also preserves sound archives accessible through its phonotheque and features a 12-seat cinema for viewing ethnographic films. It occasionally hosts talks and events organized by the museum.
Bring your family to explore MEG’s collections through a temporary exhibition on the sounds of African nature and the musical instruments that recreate these sounds. After experiencing the soundscapes, learn how these sounds inspired African instruments, culminating in an auditory journey through an African night.
