Kisumu Museum

Unlike many local museums, Kisumu Museum is an interesting and often informative place.

The displays are wide ranging and most are well presented, though some could use some light. There is a very good collection of traditional everyday items used by the region's various peoples, including agricultural implements, bird and insect traps, food utensils, clothing, furniture, weapons and musical instruments. There is also a fairly motley collection of stuffed birds and animals, including an amazing airborne lion mauling a wildebeest.

Outside, a traditional Luo homestead has been constructed, consisting of the husband's thatched mud-house and separate houses for wife one, two and three!

There are also the usual crocodile and tortoise enclosures, which are small and a tad depressing.
