Information
Our unique museum entices visitors to experience the ancient, sometimes mystical relationaship that exist between gold and the African continent through state-of-the-art visuals and artistic displays.
The museum is home to a collection of 350 West African gold artefacts as well as objects from the ancient gold civilisations of southern Africa.
The purpose of the collection is to preserve the art of African goldsmithing while inspiring contemporary design.
Temporary exhibitions from countries as diverse as India, Brazil,Mali and Egypt explore the commonality of this theme across geographical borders and cultural divides.
