The Kerma Museum, located in front of the Western Deffufa at the archaeological site of Kerma in Sudan's Northern State, opened in 2008. The museum displays a range of artefacts from the Kerma culture, including items from the Prehistoric, Kingdoms of Kerma, Napata, and Meroë periods, as well as exhibits on the region's Christian and Islamic history. The museum's architecture features a traditional Nubian vaulted roof. Notably, it houses seven black granite statues, uncovered in 2003 at Dukki Gel by an archaeological team led by Charles Bonnet. These statues, which depict Nubian Pharaohs such as Taharqa and Tanwetamani, were deliberately broken but are well-preserved and fully reassembled for display.

Museum of Kerma is one of the best tourism places to visit in the northern state when you come to Sudan 🇸🇩. The museum tells the story of the great Kosh kingdom and Pharaohs of the 25th royal family and contains lots of their personal stuff. Never miss to visit this amazing place.

Very pretty historical museum in Kerma. Nice to visit. Kerma is the first kingdom of the Kushite civilization. It fleurished in XXV-XV centuries BC - of times when Anchient Egypt constructed its Great Pyramids. Being a main competitor of Anchient Egypt, Kerma succeeded to keep Egyptians to the North of the first Nile cataract in Aswan until XV BC.

Very nice historical place to visit...The building is inspired by traditional Nubian architecture.. It's well organised museum that contains interesting relics from the site, including seven imposing granite statues and various Nubian artefacts. There's also a section dedicated to the Christian and Islamic heritage of the area... Staff are very cooperative and helpful
