frican Artinvites you to explore the dynamic origins of the vast artistic expressions arising from the exotic and
mystifying African continent.

Since its rediscovery through the colonial expositions at the end of the 19thcentury, African art has been an unlimited
source of inspiration for artists who, over time, have perpetually recreated these artworks.


The power of Sub-Saharan African art lies within its visual diversity, demonstrating the creativity of the artists who

statues, masks, jewellery, pottery, and tapestries compose a variety of daily and ritual objects brought forth from these
richly varied societies.
