An exhibition titled "Spiritual Beings – Art Exhibition of African Sculpture" brought a collection of sculptures from African countries such as Cameroon, Nigeria, and Guinea to Tianshui Museum in northwest China's Gansu Province. The event, co-hosted by Tianshui Museum and Datong Museum in Shanxi Province, was on display for two months.

Featuring 208 sets of African sculptures from Datong Museum's collection, the exhibition aims to showcase the unique charm of African sculpture and unravel the rich social and cultural narratives embedded within these works. Visitors were transported into the world of African art, experiencing its bold and beautiful elements.
