This publication describes how the Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal (The Netherlands) has developed over the years providing a first-ever overview. Six key collections (the Senufo, The Yoruba, the Nkanu, the Zande, East Africa and contemporary art) are discussed by experts in separate chapters. 5 other chapters deal with historical and museum-related topics. Objects are grouped in thematic interludes: amulets, beadwork, weapons, headgear, staffs, metal ornaments, etcetera.
