Kimbell Art Museum Explores 'Language of Beauty' in New Exhibit --
The Kimbell Art Museum is opening a rare exhibit of African Art. The collection comes from museums and private collectors. Some of the pieces have never been seen on public display.
"It's not very often that you have an African exhibition of this scale," Kimbell Art Museum Curator of African, Asian, and Ancient American Art Jennifer Casler Price said. The exhibit includes more than 200 works of art. It spans two galleries and 12,000 square feet, representing nearly 60 African cultures.
"We think of art for art's sake, which is the piece that you have on a pedestal in the middle of a gallery or hangs over your couch in your home," Price said."This is art for life's sake. So this art that you see; every piece has a function in daily life."Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
