       "African Folk Art - Burkina Faso"

       The exhibition was held between 14-16 December 2002 and it was visited by over 1.500 visitors. The exhibits were samples of artistic handicraft from Burkina Faso, the Ivory Coast, Ghana and Mali.

   
 
 
   
 
       The most important exhibits were masks, wooden statues and jewellery typical of the African culture. Such objects have always assisted African tribes in their everyday life (harvesting, hunting) and in various rituals (birth, funeral, marriage).
