About the Exhibition
   
 

The exhibition is subdivided according to regions: West Africa is represented by both artistic achievements of rural societies and the urban and royal art from Ife and Benin. They are followed by objects from the Cameroon Grasslands and Gabon, which in turn lead the visitor to central Africa, with ancestor- and power figures as well as utilitarian objects of the Kongo, Luba and other groups. The exhibition concludes with works from East Africa: sculptures and masks that have gained increasing attention in recent years.
