À propos
Faits rapides: Dans les vitrines de ce musée, vous trouverez l'une des plus grandes collections d'objets nomades de toute la région de l'Afrique. Parmi les pièces exposées figure également une remarquable collection de miniatures de maisons somaliennes traditionnelles, qui servaient autrefois de jouets aux enfants des tribus nomades.
Points forts: Le musée abrite une tente originale des tribus nomades, brodée à la main, d'un diamètre de plus de quatre mètres, dont la fabrication a demandé deux années entières à trois femmes. Ses motifs racontent l'histoire de la migration d'un clan à travers sept oasis différentes, et chaque point a sa propre signification.
Conseils d'initiés
- Ask the curator to open the back room, where rare hand-written 18th-century Korans are displayed.
- The best photos can be taken in the pre-noon light at the large nomadic tent in the courtyard.
- Bring water and light clothing with you; the air conditioning is weak and the exhibition rooms tend to be warm.
- If you are interested in local history, arrange a tour in advance with an English-speaking guide.
