Just visited the foundation today. The museum has been closed since December 2019 and is not planning to be opened anytime soon in Cotonou. The staff here says that theres a museum in Ouida that’s currently open. What’s left of the museum here is just a shop of books and textiles. It also acts as a cafe, although the cafe staff is not very friendly. When I asked if there’s a book about the museum history (since the museum is closed and I came all the way), they pointed me to a book. However, to sit down and read it, they demanded me to buy something to drink at the cafe. Or I could not use the chairs and had to stand. There was no other customer and all seats were empty. In the end, I had to stand there glancing through the book. This experience left a rather bad taste in the mouth and in my few contradictory to what the foundation is about - advocating the art of Africa. For future visitors, may best visit the museum in Ouida.

Trekked to this place that is often mentioned as a destination in Cotinou. Cab driver didn't know where it was and had to ask numerous times. On arriving found only thing open was the nice gift shop. Thought there were at least some permanent exhibitions but apparently not. Passed library which is some distance removed.
