This Smithsonian-run museum is dedicated to the study and collection of African art from all time periods and regions, with a focus on sub-Saharan areas. Located on the Mall, largely underground in the Smithsonian Gardens complex, the museum has a permanent collection of more than 7,000 pieces, including masks, jewelry, carvings, photography, and artifacts made from materials such as wood, metal, ceramic, and ivory. The collection of ritual objects is particularly extensive and educational. METRO: L'Enfant Plaza or Smithsonian |
