While Nigeria, which is the most populous country in Africa, has
no museum of contemporary art - anywhere across its 36 states - in faraway U.S. what non-Africans started as The Museum for African Art is blossoming into new
direction.
Currently under construction after a long
delay, the management, according to a source, is expanding the institution into
New Africa Centre with museum and policy institute. The new expansion, they
said, will accommodate members’ club for business executives, cultural leaders
and policy makers who may have interest in African subjects.
To complete the construction of the edifice, which started in 2007, about $60 million dollar is being raised currently towards a target 2015 completion period.
