This prestigious role marks a significant milestone in Osinbajo’s career and highlights his ongoing commitment to cultural and artistic advancement.

MoMCAAL, based in London, is renowned for its mission to celebrate and promote the rich and diverse creative expressions of African artists. The museum aims to bridge cultural gaps, foster mutual understanding, and inspire dialogue through its dynamic art collections and exhibitions.

As Chairman of the Advisory Board, Prof. Osinbajo will play a pivotal role in guiding the museum’s strategic direction and supporting its vision. His appointment comes alongside the inclusion of several distinguished individuals on the Advisory Board. These members include:

Greer’s role involves providing valuable perspectives and guidance on the museum’s projects and initiatives.

MoMCAAL is more than just an art institution; it is a vibrant platform dedicated to showcasing the diverse and dynamic world of African art. By championing the transformative power of art, the museum seeks to create spaces for cross-cultural dialogue and deeper appreciation of African creativity on a global stage.

Prof. Osinbajo’s new role reflects his ongoing engagement with cultural and artistic endeavors, and his leadership is expected to bring renewed energy and vision to MoMCAAL’s mission.
