Museum sights in Southern Burkina Faso

1. A Map

   Musée Provincial du Houët

   • Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
   • Sights › Museum

   This small but interesting museum showcases masks, statues and ceremonial dress from all over Burkina Faso. In the grounds are three traditional houses, each furnished in the style of its inhabitants: a Bobo house in red banco (mud-brick); a Fulani hut of branches and woven straw; and a small Senoufo (a Voltaic people who settled in northern Côte d'Ivoire and southern Burkina Faso 400 years ago) compound.

2. Musée de la Musique

   • Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso
   • Sights › Museum

   This is small but recommended for those with an emerging passion for African music, as well as those keen to learn the difference between a balafon and djembe. Most of the instruments on display (labels in French only) come from western Burkina Faso (especially from Lobi country). There's a small shop selling CDs of local traditional music which you won't find elsewhere.
