A Chinese museum decided to once again step on the toes of Africans online by opening an exhibition where Africans were displayed alongside with animals.
The video in question was posted by an Instagram user Edward E. Duke (a Nigerian) who revealed Chinese art lovers admiring the seemingly racist exhibition where the Africans were displayed together with wild animals at the Hubei Provincial Museum in Wuhan ahead of the national Golden Week holiday.
Based on local destination blog Shangalist, ‘This is Africa’ exhibition which started September 28 belongs to Chinese photographer Yu Hulping which was aimed at giving visitors a sense of primitive life lived in Africa through the interplay of humans, animals and nature.
The original video was deleted after it was posted by one of the supposed visitors to the museum with the caption : “首都博物馆 translated as “the capital museum in Wuhan, China put pictures of a particular race next to wild animals why? Are they the only race to have impoverished looking.”
