Congo in the MAS

The origin of the Congolese collection in the MAS dates back about a hundred years.

The ancient glass collection is one of the hidden gems at the MAS. It's part of a valuable glass collection numbering nearly 700 objects. For the first time the subcollection of ancient glass is published in a comprehensive catalogue.
