About Museum of African Art#
The Museum of African Art is a museum in Belgrade, Serbia, dedicated to the arts and material culture of Africa. It was established in the late 20th century and holds a permanent collection alongside temporary exhibitions.

Displays are arranged to illustrate cultural and artistic traditions rather than a single geographic area. The museum programs temporary shows, lectures and educational activities on African art and ethnography.

Situated in Belgrade, the museum is in Serbia’s capital city and is reachable from central Belgrade by public transport. The nearest major city is Belgrade itself.
