The Théodore Monod African Art Museum in Dakar, Senegal is one of the oldest art museums in West Africa. It was promoted by Léopold Senghor, the country's first President.
It was originally called Le Musée d'Art africain de l'Institut fondamental d'Afrique noire Cheikh Anta Diop IFAN/CAD and later renamed Musée de l'Institut Fondamental d'Afrique Noire or IFAN Museum of African Arts. In December 2007, its official title was changed to The Théodore Monod African Art Museum, after the French naturalist Théodore André Monod, former director of IFAN.
The museum is part of the Institut Fondamental d'Afrique Noire institute, founded 1936 under the Popular Front government in France.
