Based on the permanent exhibit at the Field Museum of Chicago, the 6,000-square-foot exhibit takes museum-goers through a journey to selected sites on the world's second-largest continent and offers a deeper understanding of the vitality, richness and significance of its people from historical and contemporary perspectives.
Through many hands-on activities, three-dimensional settings, multimedia presentations and an exceptional collection of African artifacts, the exhibit demonstrates the enormous diversity of African geography, societies and political systems and also helps visitors understand more fully the impact of slavery and freedom movements in Africa and the Americas.
The content of the exhibit is organized into four sections: Families and Festivals, Safari, Caravan, and Diaspora, which examines the disbursement of Africa's ethnic population and its cultural development thereafter.
Evergreen Exhibitions produced Inside Africa in collaboration with the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. The exhibit is made possible by Procter & Gamble Co.
