LONDON: DANCING from SIERRA LEONE and Masquerade celebration, BRITISH MUSEUM
SUBSCRIBE: - Sierra Leone Masquerade dancing celebration, British Museum, London. Vic Stefanu, vstefanu@yahoo.com. I happened to be at the British Museum (Feb 16 2013) when I ran into this fascinating event and recorded the end of it. Sierra Leone is a country in West Africa, on the Atlantic Ocean. It’s known for the white-sand beaches lining the Freetown Peninsula. The capital city, Freetown, commemorates the nation’s slave-trade history with the Cotton Tree landmark and King’s Yard Gate. Both were known as places of refuge for returned slaves in the 18th and 19th centuries. Nearby Bunce Island was a key departure point during the slave trade.

Day at the Museum part 2 (Sierra Leone National Museum)
#docuseries discovering Africa. After collaborating with a good friend of mine Sophia Scale, The Day at the Museum Documentary is finaly out.
This documentary was mostly filmed by Sophia Scale and produced by me. It's about Sierra Leone's history and culture. There is so much that we don't know and this documentary will give you guys a chance to learn about it. I hope you do enjoy it and please don't forget to like, share, comment and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for the latest videos.
Learning about the history, we will know the museum's establishment and contribution to the country. Speaking to some of the native people who have been part of the museum for a long time, will also give us a close insight into the country's history and growth leading to centuries back.
