South Africa: the art of a nation
Discover the history of South Africa through an incredible 100,000 years of art
Your journey starts with examples of some of the earliest examples of human creativity – from rock art to perhaps the world’s oldest necklace. From there, be amazed by 800-year-old gold treasures from the kingdom of Mapungubwe, be moved by powerful anti-apartheid pieces, and be inspired by cutting-edge contemporary works. See the history of a nation from a new perspective and celebrate the diverse art created by the many people who have helped shape South Africa’s story.
Exhibition in the British Museum from 27 October 2016 to 26 February 2017. Find more information on http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/exhibitions/south_africa.aspx
