Over a period of thirty years, Antoine de Galbert built up a collection of more than 500 headdresses from around the world, which he donated to the Musée des Confluences in 2017. In their diversity, these headgear, helmets, toques and caps bear witness to a simple observation: humanity covers its head.

Discovering their astonishing, sometimes spectacular shapes, this richly illustrated catalog questions both their nature and the status of the people who wear them.
