This review covers Beninese artist Meschac Gaba's twelve-room installation Museum of Contemporary African Art (July 3–September 22, 2013), presented at Tate Modern in London, which acquired the work as part of a two-year program to highlight contemporary African art. The show offered the public a unique experience by bringing together the conventional structures of a museum with Gaba's unconventional and playful structures, which question the nature of the museum and change the Western viewer's perception of African art.

This review is on the exhibition We Face Forward: Art from West Africa Today (June 2 – September 16, 2012), which took place in Manchester, United Kingdom, during the Olympic summer.
