MUSEUM HOURS
The Bowdoin College Museum of Art is currently closed to the public.
Bringing together objects from the renowned Wyvern Collection and the BCMA, the exhibition showcases many of the important ways in which a new look at medieval works of art provides insight into the past while also enabling us to re-envision the histories shaping our own era.
This exhibition highlights how the arts of Central and West Africa represent social themes across time.
