1 MAY 2009
Ever since he was a child Prince Henrik has been fascinated by African art. So to celebrate his 75th birthday the spouse of Queen Margrethe of Denmark decided to give art fans a glimpse at favourite pieces from the extensive collection he’s built up over the years.

The France-born royal – who celebrates his milestone birthday on June 11 – has selected 200 sculptures and masks to feature in a special exhibition entitled To Gods, Spirits And Ancestors – Art From Africa.
