Behind the Mask

Behind the Mask: African Art from the Ellen Hobbs Collection & the Kennedy Museum of Art is an art collection at the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts at Auburn University.

The collection will be in the museum until Spring graduation on Saturday, May 10, 2008.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Marilyn Laufer, Director of the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Fine Arts at Auburn University and Andrew Henley, the Education Curator for K-12.

They gave great insight about the history of the African masks and how they were used. I learned the masks also vary from culture to culture. It was interesting to find out what the meanings were “behind the mask.”
