Africa

Help us bring Africa to Cincinnati!  Phases I & II of the Africa exhibit were completed in 2010, and we've broken ground on Phase III thanks to generous donations from individuals, corporations and private foundations.  We still need to raise more than $10 million dollars to complete the project.
