The Barbier-Mueller Museum invited the anthropologist Nigel Barley, a former curator at the British Museum, to take a look at the Museum’s Nigerian collection, which came into being over more than a hundred years thanks to the personal and informed “eye” of the collectors Josef Mueller and Jean Paul Barbier-Mueller. Nigel Barley gives new approaches for considering, understanding and perhaps even better appreciating the art of Nigeria.
