Musée Dapper, African art museum in 16th arrondissement, Paris, France
The Musée Dapper occupied a modern building at 35 Rue Paul Valéry, featuring exhibition spaces dedicated to sub-Saharan African art and cultural artifacts.
Founded in Amsterdam in 1983, the museum relocated to Paris in 1986, taking its name from Dutch humanist Olfert Dapper who documented African culture.
The museum organized exhibitions of traditional and contemporary African art, accompanied by publications featuring contributions from historians and anthropologists.
The facility included a 190-seat auditorium for performances, a museum shop, and a restaurant, welcoming 40,000 visitors annually until its closure in 2017.
The museum established an African film club in 2005, screening movies on the third Friday of each month to promote understanding of African heritage.
