African Galleries, African Collection at the British Museum, London - the African Galleries and the African Collection of the British Museum in London. Let's travel to the city of London and let's visit the famous British Museum and the Africa Galleries which reveal the extraordinary cultural, artistic and historical diversity and complexity of the African continent represented by the collections.
The Africa galleries (African Collection) at the British Museum present varied material and artistic traditions, including forged metalwork, textiles, pottery-making, masquerade and sculpture. Cross-cutting the displays, the Africa galleries approach a range of wider themes, including trade, identity, gender, power, religion and transformation.
The African collection at the British Museum represents the rich and diverse history of a continent, from the beautiful bronze-casting Benin to objects that delve into the ritual of masquerade - traditional performances that express the secret knowledge of local communities.
At the African galleries of the British Museum we will discover inspiring and exciting objects from ancient Sudan, Benin, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Chad, Cameroon as well as more modern material from all over Africa and contemporary African art.
