Editorial Opinion (our view)
Our editorial team believes this museum is more than just a new building — it’s a statement. For too long, African artists were underrepresented in Europe’s cultural map. This project finally gives them a platform on equal footing with Western masters. It’s a step toward a more just and diverse art world.
