About

The Museum of African Art is the one and only museum in the region of South East Europe that is wholly dedicated to the arts and cultures of the African continent. By expert assessment the African collection of the Museum is qualified as representative.

Aside from the permanent display, which mainly features the traditional arts of west Africa, the Museum organizes changing exhibitions as a way of presenting the most important segments of traditional and contemporary African art. The purpose of the exhibitions, as well as a diverse range of programs, is to cover not only west Africa, but also the other regions that are underrepresented by the material from the museum collection – north, east, central and south Africa.
The presentation of Africa’s cultural heritage is realized in the form of exhibitions, lectures, film and video screenings, art and music workshops. Publishing is an important activity of the Museum which includes exhibition catalogues, scholarly books, program brochures, as well as an annual journal Afrika – Journal of the Museum of African Art. The Museum is also an important documentation center, in that it archives photographic, audio, video and film records.
The Museum of African Art takes part in various cultural programs and festivals that are on offer in Belgrade: BELEF – Belgrade Summer Festival, BEMUS – Belgrade Music Festivities, Days of Belgrade organized by the City of Belgrade, museum initiatives such as the Museum Night or the ICOM symposia, the Month of Francophonie organized by the French Cultural Center in Belgrade, events of the Goethe Institut in Belgrade, etc.

The quality and number of the Museum of African Art productions are reflected not only in the Museum’s activities and exhibitions, but also in the continuing and intensive educational, scientific and research work, distinguishing this institution as an important factor in the cultural life of Belgrade and the wider region.

Muzej afričke umetnosti je prvi i jedini muzej u ovom regionu koji je isključivo posvećen kulturi i umetnosti afričkog kontinenta. Po ocenama stručnjaka beogradski muzej predstavlja reprezentativnu kolekciju afričke umetnosti.

Pored stalne postavke, Muzej priređuje tematske izložbe koje obuhvataju najvažnije segmente tradicionalne i savremene afričke umetnosti. Iako je postojećim materijalom uglavnom predstavljeno područje zapadne Afrike, Muzej raznovrsnim aktivnostima nastoji da prikaže i druge regione – severnu, istočnu, centralnu i južnu Afriku.

Predstavljanje kulturnog nasleđa Afrike, ostvaruje se kroz različite programe – izložbe, predavanja, filmske i video projekcije, likovne i muzičke radionice. Izdavačka delatnost je veoma važan aspekat muzejskog rada koji obuhvata kataloge izložbi, stručne monografije, kao i godišnji časopis Afrika – Časopis Muzeja afričke umetnosti.
Muzej se tematski i programski uključuje u značajne manifestacije grada Beograda: BELEF, BEMUS, Dani Beograda, kao i muzejske inicijative poput Noći Muzeja, Simpozijuma ICOM-a, manifestacija Francuskog kulturnog centra u Beogradu, Goethe Institut-a u Beogradu i dr.
Istraživanjem i izlagajem umetničkih predmeta afričkih naroda i organizovanjem studijskih, gostujućih i informativnih izložbi, organizovanjem predavanja i drugih programa, izdavanjem kataloga zbirki i stručnih publikacija, Muzej afričke umetnosti postaje sve značajniji centar za istraživanje, upoznavanje i širenje saznanja o kulturi afričkih naroda, posebno njihove umetnosti i doprinosa umetničkoj baštini sveta. Muzej sve više postaje i svojevrsni “dokumentacioni centar”, koji čuva vredne arhivske materijale – fotografije, fono, video i filmske snimke.

Kvalitet i bogata produkcija muzeja, koji se ogledaju ne samo u muzejskim aktivnostima i izložbama, već i u kontinuiranoj i intenzivnoj edukativnoj i naučno-istraživačkoj delatnosti daju ovoj instituciji istaknuto mesto kao značajnom faktoru kulturnog života Beograda, i šireg regiona.
