I took my high school students here for a field trip to see what I consider a gem of Somaliland that will continue to improve and serve as an institution to educate Somalilanders and foreigners alike. The staff was helpful and was able to translate and explain various exhibits in English for me. It is divided into to parts currently, the cultural and historical. I absolutely loved the historical building as it even uncovered some history that I was unaware of. This brought history to life for my students and they had a wonderful time visiting. I look forward to sending more students of history here so they can appreciate their history and have a bit more pride in being from Somaliland. As it is a place that does not allow photography in either building (complete understandable and smart) this makes Saryan Museum something you must see firsthand. To my knowledge admission is two dollars per person.
