Iwalewahaus, African art center in Bayreuth, Germany.
The Iwalewahaus building spans 2,300 square meters and functions as a center for contemporary African art exhibitions and cultural research at the University of Bayreuth.
Established in 1981 under Ulli Beier's direction, the institution relocated to Wölfelstraße 2 in 2013, expanding its capabilities for art presentation and research.
The name Iwalewa comes from Yoruba language meaning 'character is beauty', reflecting the institution's focus on deeper artistic and cultural understanding.
The center maintains extensive archives of contemporary African music, video productions, textiles, and visual arts, available for research and educational purposes.
The institution holds one of Europe's largest public collections of contemporary African art, acquired through systematic collecting and private donations.
