Sculpture in Africa, just like masks and fetishes, explains the origins of man, justifies the rights to the occupied territory by its expression of the cult of ancestors-founders of the tribe and actual rulers of the land.

Sculptures also expresses the idea of fertility and can be a tool of magic.

The way in which characters are sculpted depends on a tribe. Some sculptures, mainly those that depict tribe members, are additionally decorated. Sculptures supposed to symbolise certain qualities such as fertility or wisdom usually depict figures with schematically outlined silhouettes and distorted proportions in favour of the abdomen or head.

To the right, Gelde and Pumbu masks worn on top of the head are displayed in the cabinet.

Another cabinet displays bronze and brass figurines made using the lost-wax method by artisans from the Mossi tribe. Some figurines are used not only to maintain good relations with ancestors but also to legitimise political power.

In the middle, there are display cabinets with anthropomorphic tribal sculptures symbolising the continuity of generations, and SIMO figures that play an important role in fertility rituals.

The exhibition continues with further examples of face masks and hat masks, e.g. ,the Tyi Wara hat mask and examples of No-tomo masks.

Cotton textiles can be seen on the wall; there is batik and a historical calendar of the ABOMEJ ethnic group from Benin.

Additionally, there is a collection of masks with a cow mask and an antelope mask.
