Uganda Museums
There aren't many museums in Uganda however here we present an online guide to the best of them. Part of the reason for their being few museums is that the tourist industry in Uganda is under developed reflecting a poor infrastructure such as roads etc but mainly because there is little interest in museums or knowing about the past.
As one resident of Western Uganda recently stated about a local historical attraction "For us, we do not know anything; we do not even need to know much". This is a shame and some museums that have been developed in Uganda often by elders who are anxious to preserve their rich cultural heritage soon find themselves in financial difficulties and are forced to close. With no government grants and mainly limited to school trips, there aren't sufficient numbers of visitors to keep them going.
So whilst you are in Uganda take time out to visit the museums below and whilst
not an actual museum the Batwa Experience is also well worth a visit. Its like
stepping back in time!
