The British Museum

I visited the British Museum in December 2019.  Compared to the exhibits from other areas of the globe there is a modest African selection in the basement but includes some extremely valuable artefacts from outside of the Congo such as the 13th Century Benin Bronzes from the Edo peoples (shown below). 

​

With respect to the Congo itself there are a number of exhibits including Kuba and Luba masks and a Katanga cross.  

​

The world famous Museum is worth a visit of course and it has some excellent African artefacts.

The History of the Congo is a Podcast and Project devoted to the History of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.  

 

It's a troubled and mis-understood area of the globe which has had a huge hidden impact on the planet.

We want to use this project to increase the understanding of the country and region.  From this we aim to build and fund a community of action to help the people and development in a collaborative way.
