By means of the different exhibits, we have attempted to paint a global and homogenous image of the most important cultural regions of Central Africa (Zaïre, the Republic of the Congo and Angola). The artifacts have been displayed according to cultural area. Beginning along the mighty Zaïre River, our itinerary takes us in a counter-clockwise direction, across the "Kwango" territory and the Kasai and then — after a brief southward excursion into Angola — to the Shaba region. We then travel north along the lakes that constitute the natural boundary with Burundi and Rwanda, ending with a turn that leads us to the north-west corner of Zaïre.
