Description

This newly established museum celebrates the rich African culture with exhibits from countries including Ghana, Zaire and Nigeria. The museum's purpose is stated as "using the arts to show the richness of a forever growing culture." Current displays include sculptures and masks from the 19th and 20th centuries.
