Description:
Arts and Crafts Museum with focus on the arts and crafts of Cameroon's Western Grassfields. Active in the area of collecting Arts, Culture and Development information for its resource centre. Also involved in setting up a Music Information Centre for Cameroon's folk and contemporary music as well as music from other countries.
Objectives:
-To preserve contemporary Cameroonian arts & crafts for future generations.
-To develope a liking for arts, crafts and music in Cameroonians.
-To expose Cameroon's rich folk music to a wider public at home and abroad
-To create a resource facility on arts, crafts, culture and music as well as general developmental issues.
Needs:
We need to fully catalogue the Museum's collection according to international standards. Currently the objects are standing on the bare floor while some are hung from the walls. The gallery requires further renovation to better accommodate the collection. The director needs basic education in Museum management and conservation techniques. The museum needs exposure to sources of funding and related networks.
It is intended to work toward the establishment of a modern library for Arts/Cultural information. we plan to solicit funds to enable the publication of a regular Information Bulletin on the Museum and the Arts and Crafts of the Cameroon Grassfields. Funds are to be sought to cover the cost of developing the workshop, store and conservation treatment room. Funds are also needed to enable further Museum purchases so as to cover more fully the arts and crafts of the Grassfields region
