Om
Snabba fakta: I montrarna på detta museum hittar du en av de största samlingarna av nomadföremål i hela Afrika-regionen. Bland utställningsföremålen finns också en anmärkningsvärd samling traditionella somaliska miniatyrhus, som en gång fungerade som leksaker för barn i nomadstammarna.
Höjdpunkter: Museet rymmer ett original, handbroderat tält från nomadstammarna med en diameter på över fyra meter, vars tillverkning tog tre kvinnor hela två år. Dess mönster berättar historien om klanens migration genom sju olika oaser och varje stygn har sin egen betydelse.
Insidertips
- 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.
