Musée Boribana, Contemporary African art museum in Ngor district, Dakar, Senegal.
The Musée Boribana features over 400 artworks including photographs, paintings, tapestries, and statues within its exhibition halls and outdoor courtyard.
Anthropologist Boubacar Koné and actress CCH Pounder established the museum in 1997, later transferring it to the Senegalese government in 2014.
The museum displays works from Senegalese artists and creators from the African diaspora, including artists from Guadeloupe, Haiti, Jamaica, and the United States.
Visitors can access the museum from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM, with free admission every Wednesday.
The name Boribana originates from the Mandinka language, translating to 'the race is over' and contains three artist studios for accommodation.
