Expanding Views of Africa
The newly installed galleries of African Art is the vision of curator Barbara
Thompson. It is a walk back in time with powerful contemporary visions of Africa
giving way to art from the past ending in the Egyptian room at the end of the
exhibit. It places Egypt squarely as an African influence, unlike many exhibits
where Egypt is treated in a Mediterranean context. Computer touch screens and
smart-phone links allow the viewer to get expanded views of the displays.
