Curatorial Ethos
The gallery’s programme centers on preserving traditional African art heritage while fostering intercultural understanding through exhibitions, publications, and educational outreach. It serves as an accessible platform for both experienced collectors and newcomers to explore the artistic creativity of West Africa.
Since 1957, Galerie Walu operates as a family-run gallery in Basel, Switzerland, specializing in traditional African art from West Africa. The space functions as a commercial gallery and cultural forum, hosting exhibitions, publishing materials, and providing expert consultations alongside purchase, sale, and valuation services. The gallery welcomes visitors by appointment and maintains deep anthropological and market ties to its regions of origin.
