Africa

As a result of its contact with the outside world, Africa, considered to be the land of human origins, has undergone many changes. We can acknowledge today that at least some of the diversity in the cultures and languages of the African continent is a result of these changes. In addition to paying attention to people’s activities that “dig into history,” the exhibition is divided into four sections (to rest, to work, to clothe, to pray) in order to introduce the lives of people living in contemporary Africa.
