Museums and art gallery in Africa

A new trend is that some Museums and institutions in Africa are getting more active, since a steady 6% yearly economic grow is happening in Africa, and that some African Art is traveling back to Africa.

Find on this page some the articles related on these new Museums and events. Discover also our sister site  www.africanbusiness.org if you are interested in African business news.

I did a compilation with some resources and addresses about  African Museums of interest at Liste des Musées d'Afrique de l'Ouest - Le Programme des Musées de l’Afrique de l’Ouest communément appelé Wamp (West Afican Museums Program) veut pousser à la formation de jeunes conservateurs

University Of Ghana shows brass and gold weights 

THE Institute of African Studies of the University of Ghana on Thursday opened an exhibition of more than 1,200 brass works used as weights for the gold trade in the Gold Coast.

Pygmy Conference: In 1906, a Congolese Pygmy named Ota Benga was put on display at the Bronx Zoo. While such an exhibition seems inconceivable today, the Pygmies of central Africa are still being marginalized and exploited.

As recently as July 2007, Pygmies in the Republic of the Congo were being housed in a tent at a zoo and forced to scrounge for firewood to cook their food as tourists watched.
