The galleries for the African collection are nearing completion which is good since the building opens in less than a month!
The works of art selected represent the arts of sub-Saharan Africa and include masks, figures, vessels, textiles, ritual objects and contemporary objects. The casework looks amazing. There were several places where I couldn't tell if there was glass between myself and the objects.
The African collection was chosen to live in the Bloch Building because of its direct inspiration and influence art of the 20th century. The galleries on either side contain the contemporary and photography collections.
