The DAM'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 our African art gallery, artworks are presented in the context of music, poetry, and performance. Older works in the collection are juxtaposed with new works by contemporary African artists. The display also balances works by women artists—including the Akire shrine painters—with those made by men.
