This private museum of Enam and Rene DAVID was created in the year 2006 and was inaugurated and opened to the general public on 3rd february 2007. It’s located in Lome, on the 1603, Boulevard of Mono.
The museum is based on private collection of a trader and African arts expert Mr.Rene David, from Switzerland. He has returned those objects to Africa and the collection has been completed by some acquisitions made in place by his wife Mme Enam David. Today, the museum happens to be the most popular one in Africa with pieces from different cultures of Black Africa.
The museum is to help Africans to discover and meet their cultures of origin that they get rid of during colonization. If people find it difficult to explain why Africa arts objects and pieces are having an economic value in Europe, in United States and in the world as a hole today, it’s now up to Africans to be conscious and know the real importance of their cultures and therefore think of how to preserve them.
The international museum of Golf of Guinea (MIGG) wants to be a museum of "Africans for Africans" and and would integrate also into his exibition, arts from other continents.
