Recent Acquisitions And Gifts
Recent acquisitions and gifts
While many of the museum’s major acquisitions in the past were donated by institutions, private donors have also contributed generously to the collections since its foundation. The museum no longer has an acquisition budget. SaMba buys works at biennials from its membership fees and works are added to the collection thanks to the generosity of private donors and artists.
The hanging of the rooms of the collections is regularly modified, if you wish to see one or several works in particular, please contact the museum to inform you if they are currently exhibited in the rooms.
