This post focuses on Kisumu Museum Entrance Fees and Opening Times. Kisumu Museum is located in Kisumu City along the Kisumu – Kericho highway, within Milimani Estate.
Kisumu Museum, which opened in 1980, has several outdoor pavilions. Live animals can be found in some of the pavilions. One pavilion, for example, contains numerous aquaria containing a wide variety of Lake Victoria fish, as well as explanatory posters. A terrarium with mambas, spitting cobras, puff adders, and other venomous Kenyan snakes can be found in another pavilion. Outside, the museum has a few additional exhibits, such as a snake pit and a crocodile container.
Other pavilions display weaponry, jewellery, farm tools, and other artefacts made by the Nyanza Province’s various peoples. There are also stuffed animal, bird, and fish exhibits. One pavilion houses the prehistoric TARA rock art, which was moved to the museum for its protection after being defaced by graffiti in its original location.
The UNESCO-sponsored Ber-gi-dala exhibition is the museum’s most essential and largest. This is a replica of a traditional Luo homestead. Ber-gi-dala is made up of an imaginary Luo man’s home, granaries, and livestock corrals, as well as the homes of his three wives and eldest son. The exhibition also explains the origins of the Luo people, their migration to western Kenya, traditional healing plants, and the process of establishing a new home through signs and taped programs in both Luo and English. Also dance with The African Genre Shield, a group that keeps Luo culture alive through performances and teaching about aspects of Luo culture.
