The Haifa Museum of Art is presenting a new exhibition called Africa Calling, which showcases African treasures from the museum's warehouses. The exhibition includes royal drapes from the kings of Dahomey and ritual masks used by the Bambara people of Mali. The museum's decision to present non-Western works is seen as a turning point for the institution. The exhibition also explores themes of gold and colonialism, race and memory. The Haifa Museum of Art is also hosting two other exhibitions, Facial Topography and Desktop.
