The Museum of Black Civilizations opened its door to the public in a grandiose yet solemn fashion in December 2018. Heads of states and important guests from the continent and its diaspora attended the opening ceremony. Official speeches were followed by a series of performances from the likes of choreographer Germaine Acogny and the musician Baaba Maal. The museum, for decades a negritude dream, now an architecture, a temporary exhibition and an institution, is grappling with the ambitious, challenging and perplexing mission it has been endowed with.
