Artifacts from Africa brought such fresh inspiration to the Western art scene in the early 20th century that modern masters such as Pablo Picasso and Paul Guillaume developed a new style Cubism from it, says Chen, the director of Shanghai Museum.

The exhibition may be different from what the audiences in Shanghai are used to, Martin says. "I hope it will open their mind to African art."

It made its debut appearance in Asia two years ago in Singapore. From Shanghai, it will proceed to Seoul before flying back to France, as the objects are fragile and complicated to transport, Martin adds.
