The Africa Museum in Berg en Dal (Netherlands) was founded in 1954 as a missionary museum, supported by the Roman Catholic Congregation of the Holy Spirit (also known as Spiritans). Although the museum still maintains warm relations with the congregation, it has evolved into an independent institution.
Nowadays, the Afrika Museum is unquestionably best known for its Beninois stilt village and its Dogon hamlet.
Among Central Africanists, the museum is also a famed repository for a world-class collections from Angola, both Congos, and Cabinda.
Furthermore, the Afrika Museum sponsors a serious conservation program, an almost untouched photographic archive and a collection of surprising breadth and depth, including works of contemporary artists of Africa and its Diaspora.
