The Trout Gallery possesses a substantial collection of African Art totaling slightly more than 600 pieces. The pieces represent a wide swath of Africa including Ethiopia, the Sepik River region, the Upper Volta, Burkina Fasso, Mali, Sudan, the Ivory Coast, Angola, Tanzania, Ghana, Benin, and countless other countries within Africa. The collection includes various cultural materials like sculptures, textiles, baskets, pottery, masks, and archeological materials. While the collection is substantial it is not always on display and it is best to call in advance for details about its accessibility.
