Wooden adornments, crest masks and Yoruba trays... Embrace the customs of the Bamiléké chiefdoms, explore the practices of the sanctuaries of the Igbo country and retrace the history of the powerful kingdom of Owo in this XXL thematic exhibition built around the unthinkable collection of Ewa and Yves Develon. Between dazzling passions and aesthetic research, the Musée des Confluences returns to the numerous treasures of sub-Saharan Africa by focusing on the life trajectories of more than 230 ritual objects, statuettes and other altar figures originating from Cameroon or Nigeria. Everyday pieces transformed into sumptuous works of art several thousand kilometers from the lands where they were born.
