The MOWAA museum (Museum of West African Art) hosted a preview event in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, on November 4-5, 2024, offering a glimpse into its groundbreaking vision for the future.
The event showcased how MOWAA, designed by Adjaje Associates, aims to redefine the museum experience by creating a deconstructed space that blends West African material culture with contemporary design. Spearheaded by MOE+ art Architecture, this ambitious project will establish a dynamic, collaborative campus designed to foster creativity, reflection, and dialogue around West African heritage.
The vision incorporates interactive spaces for exhibitions, cultural programming, and artistic collaboration, ultimately creating a hub that connects the region’s rich history with contemporary expressions of art. As MOWAA museum prepares for its official opening in 2025, the team focuses on delivering a museum that will serve as a lasting legacy, offering education and inspiration for future generations.
