The slab
With the inauguration of "THE SACRED AFRICAN SLAB OF THE FOURTH WORLD", it was
said that Manega had become the African capital of the poor, where the excluded of the
continent find their dignity and strength, where Africa expresses its conscience of misery
and its determination to eradicate it.
Niger
valley: "The Boura flutes"
There are in the Manega museum forty single and rich pieces dating from the 2nd
to the 11th century of our era, on what is called "the Boura flutes"
on the Niger valley. These are funeral pieces, tubes, terracota jars and bracelets and
elements for rituals, etc.
Hall of national culture
All the symbols of Africa are found in this hall. It is meant to welcome the jury of the
"Prize of African Literature".
THE PAVILLIONS
The
pavilion of death
If there is a singularity which distinguishes the bendrologie museum of Manega from all
the other museums in the world, it is the mystery that surrounds the visitor when he goes
through the heavy gate of the GUIGEMDE pavilion, hosting the principles of death of the
museum's cultural environment.
The
Youyounse pavilion
The pavilion of the youyounse mystics is a presentation in a special decoration
that multiplies or accentuates according to these sons of the Earth, their spirituality
and life elements.
