Born in 1938 by the will of the Comboni Fathers, The center initially contained the most diverse handicraft production gathered by volunteers in African villages, eager to promote African culture and to share it with the general public. With the passing years, the museum has begun to expand their repertoire by putting it in constant contact with the heritage of other cultures through interesting exhibitions, so as to better analyze the complexity of African art. The permanent collection is currently made up of a large collection of ethnographic objects coming mainly from Egypt, Burkina Faso, Togo, Sudan e Congo.
