If you will visit Dakar, I suggest you to visit this museum of African art. It was one of the interesting days during Dakar trip. I have meet artist and other beautiful people, who explains us the most powerful part of Sénégal people - hospitality. Thanks a lot.
Tickets fee is 5000 XOF

A must if you are in Dakar! Beautiful space in the back as well if you just want to chill/read.

Good exposition about Mali history. Seems contents are music related. No much art from other African countries are exhibited.

Very small exhibition and only one floor. Second floor seems to be under renovation. Took 10 minutes walking through all. They have but a few artifacts, but very little informative display other than brief description of each item. "Magic bottle from Guinea" for example. And it was quite expensive to enter at 5.000 for foreigners. Would not recommend the detour unless you're in the area.

You can find more (and more interesting) items in an upscale souvenir shop. The exhibition is very small, of limited artistic and/or historical significance and quite expensive (5,000 per person) for what you get. I hope sometime they will invest in acquiring a good collection. Senegal/africa has produced much greater art than this. There were maybe one or two objects that made an impression (photos). Little too no explanation. Sometimes the marketplace pricetag was still on the art.

Really wonderful museum in Dakar. Veronique was an excellent guide and explained so much about the art and Senegalese culture in general.
The art is exciting and pulled from different countries all over Africa.

This museum is a deception. Few pieces, interesting but limited explanations, not well preserved. Another missing opportunity in Senegal
