The museum was started in 2000 as a small private museum, and has since expanded to host one of the biggest and most spectacular collections of African arts and crafts in the world.
The collection is held in Roberts House, a fully restored Victorian national monument, in Glenwood, Durban, South Africa.
Owner-collector Paul Mikula has amassed examples of contemporary sculptures, beadwork of KwaZulu-Natal, carved statues, and artefacts from pipes to fertility dolls.
