This museum was celebrating the afro existence in the British culture. There was an exhibition of Thomas J Price, he makes sculptures of everyday people as far as I have seen, only black people, and it is displayed among the other sculptures in the historic collections of V&A. It looks kind of catchy when you see an afro-sculpture all of a sudden in the middle of 18-19. century sculptures
