The Afromusée’s Traditional African Art exhibition highlights the richness and cultural diversity of the African continent through a unique collection of traditional works. Sourced from several West and Central African countries, these pieces illustrate ancient artistic practices passed down from generation to generation, and reflect the values, beliefs and histories of different African communities.
Works on display include wooden sculptures, ceremonial masks, dyed fabrics and ritual objects used in religious, social and community practices. Each object tells a story, from the symbolism of masks in ritual dances to the use of carvings to mark life’s milestones or honor ancestors. These handcrafted creations are imbued with profound meanings and are often associated with rituals of healing, protection or passage to adulthood.
Through this exhibition, the Afromusée enables visitors to discover the diversity and depth of West and Central African cultures. These works are not just art objects, but living witnesses to the history and traditions that continue to nurture the identity of many African communities, while enriching our overall understanding of our collective heritage.
Several mediation proposals are available on request: Thematic workshops, guided tours…
