Inside Africa transports museum-goers to the African experience, allowing them to discover firsthand the vitality, richness and significance of Africa and its peoples. Based on a permanent exhibition at the Field Museum in Chicago, the exhibit explores the enormous diversity of African geography, societies and political systems, and also provides a bridge to contemporary American life. Visitors journey to selected sites on the African continent and learn about topics such as “Family and Festivals,” “Science Safari,” “Commerce,” “Caravan,” and “The Diaspora and Slavery.” The exhibit also examines the concept of “Freedom” in its many forms, from the perspective of many voices.
