The Afrika Museum in Berg en Dal, near Nijmegen, is a museum where African culture, art and architecture come to life. With both indoor exhibitions and an open-air section, the museum offers a broad and engaging view of Africa’s cultural diversity.
Inside, visitors will find a rich collection of both traditional and contemporary African art. Masks, sculptures, textiles, photographs and daily objects illustrate the many forms of expression across the continent. Changing exhibitions highlight topics like identity, rituals, fashion, music and the effects of colonialism.

These life-sized environments showcase how architecture and community life are closely connected. Children are free to play, build huts and take part in creative workshops.
The museum also organizes educational programs, lectures and interactive activities for all ages. It encourages reflection and dialogue on themes such as history, diversity and Africa’s role in global culture.
