Donate to MAA
Since its founding, the Museum of African Art has systematically collected ethnographic and artistic objects from Africa, as well as art works by contemporary authors of African origin. For more than four decades, the collection has grown steadily through gifts and purchases. Most of the objects kept in the museum collection today are gifts from foreign and domestic donors.
If you own an object from Africa which you would like to donate to the museum, please send a photograph and available information about it (time, place and manner of acquisition, dimensions, material), as well as any questions regarding donations to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Please do not bring artefacts to the museum without scheduling an appointment with the curator via email, prior to your visit.
In addition to the aquisition of new artefacts for our museum collections, we continually collect books and various printed publications, as well as documentary material on and from Africa (archival documents, photos, audio and video recordings, etc.). If you are interested in this type of donation, please contact the museum documentation department at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
