African Collection

Established by Ambassador College in the late 1960s to preserve selected artifacts as a teaching collection to demonstrate African cultural settings, the African Collection is composed of about 140 items including art, pottery, and musical instruments from regions such as the Congo, Rwanda, Zaire, Nigeria, and Ethiopia. Azusa Pacific acquired the collection from Ambassador College in 2018.
