WALLS House of Art
About This Museum
It's a genuine shock to find such a potent contemporary art hub tucked away on the Rue Paul Langevin, a place that feels more like a secret shared among insiders than a public institution. WALLS doesn't just display art; it pulses with the raw, unfiltered energy of West Africa's current creative explosion. You'll find everything from massive, textured canvases that seem to absorb the Abidjan light to provocative installations crafted from recycled local materials. The space itself is intimate, encouraging a direct and almost personal conversation with each piece.
Collection Highlights
Look for the powerful mixed-media portraits that weave traditional fabrics with modern graffiti, and don't miss the kinetic sculptures made from reclaimed auto parts that hum with a life of their own.
