The exhibition was opened by Frances Ademola, renowned gallerist and art lover.
Florence Benson is the first Ghanaian art collector to voluntarily make her collection open to the general public.
With calls for a national collection to be started by Nubuke Foundation several visitors had the rare opportunity to see works from A.O. Bartimeus and Nigerian artist Bruce Onobrakpeya. The exhibition is of collected works spanning a period over 40 years with early contemporary Ghanaian artists as well as young up and coming ones.
