It houses a collection of over 400 art objects that were mainly created between 1970 and 2000 and range from bamboo work to wood carvings, from basketry to pottery.  Expect to feel inspired to be part of the Grass-fields art movement. A visitor will leave the gallery with a better knowledge of Cameroon’s art history and also become familiarized with the current art culture within Cameroon.
