In there an African Museum here?

My husband has collected through his years of travelling in Africa some really beautiful artifacts. As we no longer have space for them, I was just wondering if there is a place or museum which displays african art to donate the collection to? Some items are very old and are found in books of african art. I would hate to see them just burnt or destroyed. Thanks for any leads.

Re: In there an African Museum here?

Hi, goodhill

Cool! Yes, there is a museum that displays old African art, it is Mueseum Rietberg, the link to their website is http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/internet...lish/home.html

Then, there is the ethnological museum of the Zurich University, which also has an African art collection, their website is at http://www.musethno.unizh.ch/de/samm...ammlungen.html

I hope this works out
Idgie
