Central Nigeria Unmasked Named Top Pick

The New York Times, in this week’s 'The Week Ahead', mentions Central Nigeria Unmasked: Arts of the Benue River Valley, an exhibit designed by MFM for the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, as their top pick for an art exhibition. Holland Cotter, NY Times Art Critic, calls the exhibit 'One of the great recent exhibitions of African art.’ The exhibit features a dynamic collection of ceremonial masks, statues, and ceramics from more than 25 different ethnic groups living along Nigeria's Benue River Valley. The exhibition represents a first in displaying such a breadth of work, many pieces of which are unfamiliar even to experts. As the Times piece describes: 'In short, the show is a major adventure.' On display through March 4.
