This guided experience explores artworks and artifacts that highlight the presence, contributions, and evolving representation of people of African descent across centuries. From 17th-century European depictions to contemporary works by Black artists, this tour examines how Black identity has been portrayed, interpreted, and reclaimed in visual culture. Join us in uncovering the rich narratives embedded within the museum’s collection.
