The Royal African Tour at the Detroit Institute of Arts

Africa is the origin of humanity and civilization. But it is ALSO where kings and queens BEGAN. Their art and artifacts are important in understanding African rulership and how it both influenced and is different from other cultures’ ideas of rulership.

Please join Black Scroll Network History & Tours‘ historian and educator,Jamon Jordan, on a tour of the Royal and Dynastic artifacts in the ancient Egyptian and African exhibits at the Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA). 

This tour will give an IN-DEPTH lesson in African culture and history and how it helps us to understand and interpret the African art and artifacts in the ancient Egyptian and African galleries at the DIA.

We will meet at the John R. entrance of the DIA. The DIA is free for Wayne, Oakland and Macomb County residents, but the tour fee is $20 if you pre-pay, and $25 if you pay when you arrive.

Recommended parking is at the DIA parking lot ($7) on John R. between Frederick & Farnsworth. Street parking is FREE on Sundays.

This tour takes place at the DIA, but neither the Tour Leader or Black Scroll Network History & Tours are affiliated with, sponsored by or employed by the Detroit Institute of Arts. This tour is being led by a historian of African culture and history.
