    Date of experience: June 2018 It changed its name to the Museum of African Art or something like that. This is a very small, privately-owned museum (by a Chinese anthropology professor). It is a small 2 (overcrowded) rooms that contain a good collection of masks, carvings and other objects from around West Africa, most of them are tagged with the country of origin and some with the date. You have to pay an entry fee, I was asked an extra fee to take photos, there was no sign(s) that said that photography is not allowed and it kind of felt like extortion. It is not great, but there is nothing else (at least based on my search) that you can do in Lomé, so this would be a good place to waste an hour or two during the weekend. Note: This place is not well known, so I had a hard time asking around if any driver can take me there, in the end, I had to use google maps to guide the driver.

    The place has lots of African historical items and tour guide had a good amount of knowledge regarding them. You're not allowed to take pictures inside the main rooms but you could take pictures outside with a few items. A ticket was sold at 3000cfa for tourists Inside the rooms were hot and the AC wasn't functional and the swimming pool is not open to tourists. I believe with good maintenance the place could be better. Above all, I enjoyed being there

    Very interesting museum of African art. It has primarily hand carved traditional sculptures. It is a small museum, but they give you a tour and explain all the different artworks.

    The collection is fantastic with so many great pieces. However they deserve more space to reveal all their splendor. I was told that they have plans to open a new location. It is worth a visit.

    The international museum of the Gulf of Guinea is a private interesting museum. It is also known as the international museum of Art of Africa. Most local taxi drivers have no idea where the museum is. The easiest way to approach it is to mention the location of Eden Plage which lies opposite the museum. The collection is interesting. It is a complementary museum to the national Museum of Togo.

    Well maintained unlike some other landmarks and monuments in Togo, but the entry fee is ridiculous!

    Private umfangreiche Sammlung von Kunstgegenständen. Skulpturen aus Holz und Bronze sowie Schmuck, Waffen und Kultobjekte sind ausgestellt. Leider sind kaum nähere Informationen der ausgestellten Objekte zu finden. Die Sammlung umfasst Objekte aus ganz Afrika und ist nicht nach Herkunftsregion geordnet. An den meisten Ausstellungsstücken ist zumindest auf kleinen Kärtchen die Herkunft vermerkt. Trotzdem ist durchaus ein Besuch zu empfehlen

    It's a nice place, although I didn't go into the main building to see the artworks, but I did admire the ones placed outside.

    Storage space for articles from West Africa. No explanation, no display criteria. Paper labels placed on or next to pieces, many dropped on the floor. Private, belongs to a collector of Chinese origin. If you like African art or Picasso's Les Senyoretes d'Avinyó, interesting. But there is a serious lack of museum concept. 3000 CFAs

👍 You will need an interpreter if you can't speak French. I had a tour guide that translated for me. Great history and culture to be found here. I only wish that you can take pictures but it's not allowed. I spent about 30 minutes here. It's a small spot but packed full of historical and cultural info...
