To provide a cultural context and interpretation for the African art objects to be displayed in a cooperative venture with the Peabody Museum of Harvard University. To select and install the works of art using large photo-murals, portable reading units, slides, tapes, and contemporary tools and clothing to create thematic groups. The ultimate goal is to extensively utilize a little known cultural resource of New England to provide a dramatic, powerful display of native African art.
