Is it true that they reach the same level of artistic splendor that the Western works of art do? Strictly as an example, are the Benin Bronzes on the same level as any Michaelagelo? What about the other works of African art (musical instruments, masks, ceremonial clothing, etc.)? Should they be in the same museum since they are just as important and require the same level of technical skill?
