Hamilton Building, Level 4

 

The museum's African art collection is the most comprehensive body of objects from the African continent in the Rocky Mountain region. It includes about 1,000 paintings, sculptures, installations, and mixed media compositions from every part of Africa.

 

In the new African art gallery, artworks are presented in the context of music, poetry, and performance. Older works by Olowe Ise and others are juxtaposed with new works by contemporary African artists, including Moyo Ogundipe and Francis Nnaggenda. The display also balances works by women artists—including the Akire shrine painters—with those made by men.
