The Museum’s African art collection spans the continent’s rich history and cultures, making it one of the most comprehensive and impressive collections in the Southeast. In celebration of both Earth Day and the reopening of our all-new African gallery, we have compiled a few objects from the gallery that are made of natural materials. From wood and seed pods to animal skin and teeth, each of the materials that compose the works of art tells a story about the region of its origin and the people who created the piece.

See these works of art and learn more about them in our new African gallery, opening to the public this Friday, April 25. Click here for more information about the opening lecture and celebration. Join our Facebook event and invite your friends if you plan to attend!
