Bert Flint is an eminent collector, anthropologist, and expert in the "Afro-Berber" arts, a category that he patiently forged and grew to incarnate, notably through the Musée Tiksiwin, which he founded in Marrakech in 1996. The culmination of a lifetime of research, this museum, where it is not uncommon to meet the founder strolling through his own collection, continues to be open to the public.\n\nBert Flint's connection with Morocco began in 1957, when he arrived in the country in the wake of Independence. That is to say driven by a sense of renewal and the context of cultural openness. It was there that this Dutch student of Hispanic languages and literature was able to carve a path for himself, and he soon discovered traces of Arabo-Andalusian civilisations in his ethnographic studies of Moroccan art.
