    Description
    Museum president James Cuno follows up a polemic book with a controversial exhibit displaying African artifacts looted in the late 19th century. The monumental exhibition of sculptures, carved elephant tusks, ironwork, jewelry, leatherwork and textiles illustrates 500 years of daily life and sacred rituals in the kingdom.
