Car Rental New York and Museum of African Art

The Museum of African Art is currently building its permanent home on Museum Mile at Fifth Avenue and 110th Street, which they will move to in 2008, but their offices are found in Long Island City for the moment. There are some exhibitions around the city, but the store is open in Queens for you to explore with your car rental in New York City for a unique souvenir.

Discover the past

There is an exhibit at Axa Gallery, which is one of the world’s most comprehensive collections of Lega Art for you to explore with your car rental in New York City. This temporary exhibit explores the role of the arts in Lega society, which is part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. These works of art are used to teach lessons, stories, and values to society. With your car rental in New York City, you can visit this and other exhibits on display around the city.

In the past, there have been exhibits from the New Orleans Museum of Art featuring their African sculpture, contemporary South African Art, Urhobo Art, contemporary art of the African Diaspora, and many other exhibits. “The Museum for African Art is dedicated to increasing public understanding and appreciation of African art and culture. Recognized worldwide as the pre-eminent organizer of exhibitions and publishers of books devoted exclusively to historical and contemporary African art."

Your style, African style

The Museum Store features crafts from Africa in a wide range of items. There are cloth, metal, wood, ceramic, straw, leather, gourd, and plastic items available for you to purchase when you visit with your car rental in New York City. Most of the items here were made in Africa and especially for this store. Many of them also have information about the objects: where they come from, who made them, and how they were made. They help preserve the traditional techniques, as well as bring money into the villages.
