The artefacts presented in this exhibition are rich in history, from their creation to their religious or social uses. Statues are often ritual instruments, masks dance on ceremonial occasions and adornments indicate their owners’ status. And then they are sometimes provided with other lives in Africa and beyond. Admired for their aesthetic and heritage qualities, certain artefacts make their way into private and museum collections to become sources of study and inspiration.

The 230 artefacts in this exhibition bear witness to such lives. Originating from Ewa and Yves Develon’s private collection, they have now been entrusted to the Musée des Confluences.
