🇸🇳 Dakar | Museum of Black Civilisations - A Touch of Dark Humor

Hi, I'm Mack! 🌍 Currently on my round-the-world trip through Africa, now at Stop 4: Dakar, Senegal 🇸🇳 📍 Museum of Black Civilisations Address: MHH7+QF2, Dakar 10200 Hours: 10:00 AM - 7:00 PM First Impressions Name Debate: Why not "African Civilisations"? 🤔 The current name feels... odd. Architecture: Clearly not local design—turns out it’s China-funded (sign at the entrance confirms). Inside the Museum 1️⃣ Ground Floor: Focuses on "Out of Africa" migration and archaeological history. All in French (RIP non-Francophones 😅). 2️⃣ Second Floor: Sparse exhibits, but saved by a photography exhibition. 3️⃣ The "Metal Cotton" Installation: First thing you see upstairs—peak dark humor 🏭🤦♂️. Final Thoughts A mix of ambition and irony, with moments that make you go "Hmm..." #UnconventionalMuseums #GlobeTrotter #WestAfrica #SenegalTravel #DakarDiaries #DarkTourism #ChinaInAfrica 🌐✈️
