The latest number of Museum Anthropology (Fall 2006) includes an interview by Peter Naumann of Stéphane Martin, Président-Directeur général of the Musée du quai Branly. In spite of the brouhaha surrounding the new installation, Naumann keeps the interview focussed primarily on the architecture of the Musée, the position and future of contemporary 'aboriginal' art, and the museum's research and outreach program.
For those who can't get enough, you can find other online interviews here (the image source) and here.
Museum Anthropology has just moved more fully into AnthroSource (www.anthrosource.net), meaning that Naumann's interview is now accessible online. AAA members and those with access to institutional subscriptions can gain immediate access. (Un)fortunately there is pay per view access for everyone else. The direct link is:
