Founded by Alain de Monbrison in 1981, the Monbrison Gallery specialises in the ancient arts of Africa and Oceania. It maintains privileged links with the greatest European and American museums. Its clientele includes major European and American collectors and important private and public institutions.

Alain de Monbrison maintains close ties with a large number of European and American museums, including the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Smithsonian in Washington, the Detroit Institute of Art, the Barbier Mueller Museum in Geneva and the Royal Museum of Central Africa in Tervuren. Finally, Alain de Monbrison was one of the leading experts at the historic sale of the Michel Périnet collection held at Christie’s Paris on 23 June 2021.
