The museum consists of a round building inspired by the impluvium huts of Casamance has a total area of 15,000 m² on 4 levels, of which nearly 5,000 m² of exhibition space is devoted to African civilizations. A place of civilizational meeting and dialogue between cultures. The Museum of Black Civilizations is an emblematic mark of civilization, identity and the promotion of African memory. The museum has requested the repatriation of African artworks, given that up to 95 percent of Africa's cultural heritage is held outside Africa by major museums.2 hours • Admission Ticket IncludedView Location
