Mwanza - Bujora Sukuma Village Museum

The Sukuma Museum promotes the traditional and contemporary arts of the Sukuma culture. An interactive environment allows Sukuma elders to teach the younger generation traditional history and arts.

Missionaries from Quebec set up the Bujora Sukuma Village Museum in 1952. Exhibits include a replica of a traditional Sukuma house and compound, the thatched home of a Sukuma blacksmith, a traditional doctor's house and a Royal Pavilion for Sukuma royal history as well as musical instruments including a drum collection.

At busier times of year, the Sukuma Museum presents traditional dances featuring the awesome Sukuma snake dance performed with a live python.
