Works from the Grasslands of Cameroon and the peoples of Gabon exhibit exceptional aesthetic sophistication and refinement. Images of divine and royal power, they were collected by the French and Germans who colonized this region in the nineteenth century and catalyzed Paris-based avant-garde artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Twenty outstanding works from Gabon and Cameroon, drawn from private and public collections in the region, are on view in this exhibition.

The University of Michigan Museum of Art houses one of the finest university art collections in the country and the second largest art collection in the state of Michigan. 

A community museum in a university setting, the Museum of Art offers visitors a rich and diverse permanent collection, supplemented by a lively, provocative series of special exhibitions and a full complement of interpretive programs.
