The Musée des Civilisations de Côte d'Ivoire, in the Plateau district of Abidjan, is the national museum, founded in 1942 during the colonial era. Its collection of several thousand objects spans masks, gold weights, statuary, instruments and everyday tools from the country's many ethnic groups. Exhibits highlight the artistry of Baoulé, Senufo, Dan and Guro carving traditions. Despite periods of instability and looting, it remains the principal repository of Ivorian cultural heritage.
