About Musée Dapper
The Musée Dapper in Paris was a museum devoted to African art that operated from May 1986 until June 18, 2017. It was named after the Dutch humanist Olfert Dapper, who published a comprehensive description of Africa in 1668. The site on Rue Paul Valéry in the 16th arrondissement still houses the Dapper Foundation today. In addition to changing art exhibitions, the museum offered a diverse cultural program. Visitors could enjoy dance performances, concerts by a variety of musicians, plays, and children's events such as storytelling sessions and puppet theater. Seminars focusing on Africa's cultural heritage were also held there.
