Josephine Oboh Macleod, the first black female in Scotland[5][6][7] to possess a contemporary African art and a
cultural centre.
Johfrim is home to several African and foreign artworks,[8] and the gallery houses Nigeria's third largest African art collection, with 6,000 artworks excluding sculptures, paintings, and other media. It is located behind
