The Musée de l’Institut Fondamental d’Afrique Noire or IFAN Museum of African Arts in Dakar, Senegal is one of the oldest art museums in West Africa. It was promoted by Léopold Senghor, the country’s first President. In December 2007, its official title was changed to The Théodore Monod African Art Museum (“Musée Théodore Monod d’Art africain”), after the French naturalist Théodore André Monod, former director of IFAN. Previously its official name had been “Le Musée d’Art africain de l’Institut fondamental d’Afrique noire Cheikh Anta Diop IFAN/CAD”. The museum is part of the Institut Fondamental d’Afrique Noire (IFAN) institute, founded 1936 under the Popular Front government in France. When IFAN was transferred to Cheikh Anta Diop University in 1960, the building at Place Soweto near the National Assembly of Senegal was converted into a museum. It is today one of the most prestigious centers for the study of African culture, and part of the Cheikh Anta Diop University. As the main cultural research center of the colonies of French West Africa, it contains important collections from across Francophone Africa. The museum is one of the regular venues used in the Dakar Biennale exhibition, showing art by contemporary African and diaspora artists. Travel deals to Senegal, mostly known by rally PAris-Dakar.

The Museumsquartier (MQ) is a 60,000 m² large area in the 7th district of the city of Vienna, Austria; it is the eighth largest cultural area in the world[citation needed]. The Museumsquartier contains Baroque buildings as well as Modern architecture by the architects Laurids and Manfred Ortner (Ortner & Ortner). The renovation of the former court stables began in April 1998. Three years later, the Museumsquartier opened in two stages (June and September 2001). The total cost of the construction was 150 Million Euro (two billion Schilling). The MQ is home to a range of installations from large art museums like the Leopold Museum and the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna) to contemporary exhibition spaces like the Kunsthalle Wien and festivals like the Wiener Festwochen, an annual summer event that is headquartered in the MuseumsQuartier Wien.
