Philadelphia Museum of Art to establish new center for African art

Endowed by museum trustee Ira Brind, the new center will help the museum exhibit and expand its collection of "under-programmed" art from Africa and its diaspora.

The Philadelphia Museum of Art will open a center dedicated to African and African diasporic art, which will be endowed by museum trustee Ira Brind. Pictured (from left) are deputy director and chief curator Carlos Basualdo, Brind, director Sasha Suda, and Alphonso Atkins, the museum's director of diversity, equity, inclusion, and access.
