Musée Boribana

The Boribana is Senegal’s only museum solely dedicated to contemporary African art. Tucked away in Ngor in the north-west of Dakar, the Boribana was initially formed in 1998 as a private grassroots museum with the intention of helping Senegalese talent blossom, while also exhibiting the works of African diaspora artists. Since then it has grown into an artistic residence and cultural space showcasing more than 400 works of art – from photographs and paintings to tapestries and statues – within its colourful walls and peaceful courtyard.
