Palais de la Marina, Cotonou, Bénin
The Presidency of the Republic of Benin announces the inauguration of an exceptional exhibition-event, which will be held from 20 February to 22 May 2022 in Cotonou: Art of Benin Yesterday and Today, from Restitution to Revelation: Royal Treasures and Contemporary Art of Benin.
This diptych and public exhibition is a double event: it simultaneously puts the spotlight on the classical art of Benin, the twenty-six royal treasures recently returned by the Musée du Quai Branly, and on the contemporary art scene of Benin and its diaspora, major and emerging artists, through a museum tour of more than 2,000m2.
