11 arbres
About This Museum
Tucked away on a quiet Ouagadougou street, the 11 arbres museum is a sanctuary dedicated to the profound relationship between humanity and nature. Its name, translating to '11 trees,' hints at a core philosophy that grounds its entire collection. This isn't a place of sterile glass cases; it feels more like walking through a curated, living dialogue. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, where art and artifact merge seamlessly with the environmental spirit of Burkina Faso.
Collection Highlights
You'll find evocative contemporary sculptures carved from local woods alongside traditional Mossi masks and textiles, all organized in a way that tells a story rather than just displaying objects. The exhibits often feel like they're still breathing, deeply connected to the land and its stories.
Visitor Information
It's the kind of spot where you can spend an unhurried hour or two, absorbing the calm. Locals and travelers alike find it a refreshing pause from the city's buzz, so don't be surprised if you leave feeling a little more grounded yourself.
Architecture & Building
The building itself is modest and unassuming, with earthy tones that blend into its surroundings, perhaps incorporating natural materials that make the '11 trees' theme feel authentically part of its structure.
