NAACP Josephine Baker Day @ Restaurant Le 47

Musée Josephine Baker et des Afro-descendants à Paris

Celebrating the first Josephine Baker Day ever to be held in Paris at Restaurant 47.

Musée Josephine Baker

The Joséphine Baker and Afro-Descendants Museum of Paris is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to honoring Joséphine Baker and highlighting the diverse stories of Afro-Descendants in Paris. Its goal is to fill the gap in Paris as the official museum dedicated to Baker and to celebrate the contributions of Afro-Descendants to the city and to France. The museum will preserve artifacts, promote Baker's principles, and emphasize ecological care, well-being, and community building. Brian Scott Bagley, an artist and historian, leads this initiative, inspired by Baker's legacy. Together, they strive to create a space for learning, understanding history, and promoting compassion among all peoples of the world through the discovery and sharing of Afro-Descendant history.

Where do I start? I spent this afternoon with Brian on the Josephine Baker tour and it was so much more than I could have dreamed of. Brian is just wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and is a great story teller. His love for Josephine is just beautiful and the way he keeps her memory alive with so much passion is admirable. He showed us some gorgeous places and I got a real sense of the life Josephine lived here in Paris. She truly had an exceptional life. I cannot recommend this tour enough, Brian is the best. Thank you Brian, you were the highlight of my trip! I absolutely loved it!!!

AMAZINGGGGG TOUR! Brian is amazing and knows so much about the story of Josephine. He's also magically talented. We were able to make connections towards modern day during his tour. I couldn't think of better way to spend my birthday. Life changing experience. Love Brian and absolutely loved the tour

We had the absolute best time on Brian’s tour! He is so knowledgeable about Josephine Baker and made the experience so magical and immersive — it was truly a delight. I went with a friend who knows a lot about Josephine Baker, and I knew a bit, but not much, and it was an incredible experience for both of us. I left with a newfound love and admiration for her, and my friend, who already loved her, was beside herself with delight with the knowledge and insight and access Brian has to artifacts and history, etc. He is also just an amazing human being and it was fun to spend several hours with him. 10/10 would recommend!

Brian is an absolute gem and if you ever get the chance (and absolute pleasure) to meet and converse with him, you will not be disappointed! The knowledge (and straight from the source may I add) that he possesses on Josephine Baker, and Paris in general is astounding! Brian’s storytelling abilities make the tour more interactive and engaging. He went out of his way to show me a good time - showing me all of the Josephine Baker hotspots in Paris and tailored the tour to accommodate my injury. I don’t have a doubt that he would extend the same grace and consideration to future guests as well.
Update from when I originally wrote this: This tour and meeting this amazing man is a must-do! I kept in touch with Brian and he provided my friend and I with an absolute one of a kind experience. Again, he did not disappoint! We have made a friend for life and I look forward to seeing him the next time I’m in Paris. Thank you a million, Brian!!

Brian is a true historian concerning Josephine Baker. He has a wealth of knowledge and passion and it shows in every aspect of this tour. You will see amazing images, documents and locations throughout this tour, and if you are having an extended stay in Paris I guarantee your time will be made more romantic and whimsical by exploring this city through the eyes of both Josephine and Brian. This tour is well worth your time and the host is fantastic.
