This page presents a small selection of objects from Togo, Benin and Nigeria that have been on display in past exhibitions since the 1990s or are currently available for purchase. An overview of the objects currently available for sale can be found on the News page. Bronze art objects from the Ife and Benin cultures, a focus of the gallery since its foundation, can be viewed on the following overview page, limited by geographical area.
We apologise for the image quality of the objects posted here early on, which seemed important to us in the 1990s and early 2000s. At the time, the world's first online gallery was a pioneer in many digital fields. This included self-taught photography and image editing, which does not meet the standards and quality of the 2020s. Meanwhile, the idea and structure themselves are almost museum-worthy antiquities. |
