Beninese artist Meschac Gaba (born 1961) explores the intersection of African culture and the western conception of the museum through his installations and performances. In 1997, he began presenting "independent rooms" from his invented, nomadic Museum of Contemporary African Art. A comment on the lack of comparable institutions in his native Africa, the Museum reached completion in 2002.

The work of African artist Meschac Gaba centers around his concept for a Museum of Contemporary African Art. This nomadic and virtual museum is brought to life in his installations, of which he has so far created six featuring different aspects of his museum. All six are documented visually and in critical texts in this volume.
