Kisumu Museum

The Kisumu Museum displays artefacts that relate to the cultural beliefs and practices of the local Luo communities. 

It is made up of a series of outdoor pavilions, some of which contain live animals such as a variety of fish from Lake Victoria. Other creatures found at the museum include Mambas, Puff Adders, Spitting Cobras and other venomous snakes found in Kenya.

Other exhibitions include weaponry, jewelry and farm artefacts used by the Luo Community. One pavilion in the museum houses rocks with Tara art work on them.

The most important exhibition is the Ber-gi-dala exhibition which is a traditional Luo homestead and Luo artefacts. This UNESCO-sponsored exhibition consists of the house, livestock corrals and granary of a Luo man and explains the origins of the Luo people, their migration to western Kenya and their customs and beliefs.
