MoMCAAL — The Museum of Modern & Contemporary African Art London
MoMCAAL (Museum of Modern & Contemporary African Art London) is a museum initiative dedicated to celebrating and promoting modern and contemporary African art and creativity. It aims to showcase the depth, diversity, and dynamism of African artistic expression — from established masters to bold emerging voices — and to provide a cultural space where African artists and the African diaspora can connect with global audiences.
A RESOUNDING SUCCESS
The World's Foremost Collection of Modern & Contemporary African Art
Where Africa's Artistic Legacy Meets Global Excellence
Welcome to the Museum of Modern & Contemporary African Art London—the world's premier institution dedicated to celebrating, preserving, and advancing African artistic excellence. Situated in the heart of one of the world's great cultural capitals, MoMCAAL stands as both a testament to Africa's extraordinary creative legacy and a beacon illuminating its brilliant future.
Our unparalleled collection spans 120 years of African creativity, from the pioneering modernists who revolutionized art in the early 20th century to today's visionary contemporary masters reshaping global culture. With over 2,000 exceptional works representing 150+ artists from 54 African nations, MoMCAAL offers the most comprehensive survey of African art excellence assembled under one roof.
More than a museum, MoMCAAL serves as a vibrant cultural home for the global African diaspora, a world-class research center through our Institute of African Studies and Arts (TIASA), and an essential destination for anyone seeking to understand art's power to transcend boundaries, challenge perceptions, and connect humanity across continents and generations.
