Fondation Zinsou, Art museum and foundation in Cotonou, Benin.
The Fondation Zinsou operates in two locations, presenting contemporary African art through exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs in dedicated gallery spaces.
The foundation emerged in June 2005 as a private initiative by the Zinsou family, leading to the official museum opening in November 2013.
