The visit included two museums. One of them (Museum of African Arts) had replaced the permanent collection for 1 month with a temporary exhibition of fabrics and photos of little interest. The other Museum (of Black Civilization) was very interesting and would have deserved a longer visit. The guide and his driver were very friendly and dedicated and very kindly agreed to redesign the tour program.
