East Africa's oldest museum - founded in 1908 and a great place to have a look and feel of the culture and heritage of Ugandans. I loved walking around and taking my time given I was alone and I found it quite interesting....there's so much in this museum. I would definitely recommend.

I’m frankly disappointed. Was expecting a lot more from a national museum. There is a lot of info that’s basically just textbook knowledge on how oil and gas are produced, how plants pollinate, and random Olympics posters which all have questionable relevance to Uganda.

I went with my wife. We loved it! Some of my favourites were the Maize, the stone, stone, the assortment fruits and the glassbox.

Had a great time at the museum during the East Africa Scouts Zonal Educational Camp tour 2023, no waiting. I experienced the rich Ugandan culture, had a chance to witness the Ugandan stone age, photo gallery and had a chance to see some machines used by His Excellency the President of Uganda. Visit Uganda Museum.
