The Lechwe Trust Collection is dedicated to acquiring and preserving contemporary of Zambian art. Founded in 1986, the Trust is chaired by Zambian artist Cynthia Zukas. Its primary goal is to purchase quality contemporary Zambian art so that it is not shipped to foreigners and can be viewed by local audiences. Seventeen works from the Lechwe Trust Collection was exhibited January 27-March 17, 2005 at the Lusaka National Museum. Due to a lack of a permanent gallery, the collection was last exhibited in 2000.
