Africa – This is a name that gives rise to numerous associations. But what is really behind all this? This exhibition of the Übersee-Museum highlights a multifarious continent that reveals new cognitions, and also, occasionally, astounding insights. Valuable originals from the museum’s collection, different forms of media, impressive dioramas and models offer diverse approaches to discover both present-day and historical Africa.
Life in the vibrating metropolis of Nairobi as well as the fascinating natural areas and Africa’s abundance of natural resources; the eventful history of the continent and not least also the evolutionary process of our species turning into humans are emphasized in main thematic areas. However, on the journey through these five spheres, there is even more to be discovered. The works of contemporary African artists unveil new perspectives and contribute to the exhibition.
