The royal sculptures of the Benin Kingdom of Nigeria are among the most acclaimed icons of African art. Yet, despite widespread recognition of its artistic legacy, the kingdom has never been the focus of a large scale and comprehensive exhibition. This ambitious project, organized by the Museum für Völkerkunde, Vienna, will be the first to reunite many of the greatest Benin works.
