The Crafts Project within the museum encourages the production of local crafts, including baskets, beadwork, and carvings, to preserve traditional skills and support the local economy.

Connecting with my roots is an ethereal experience that I fail to express the amount of overwhelming bewilderment, I felt and the connection to my fellow countrymen and the uniqueness of the culture and traditions they share, in both life and death.

It's a really great place to visit and chill from. You don't don't really need to pay to be in the premises unless if you want to go into the building.

Small but informative museum, currently with special exhibition on Gabriel Ellison, designer of the Zambian national icons. Also features a large curio shop, but no café anymore. Housed in one of the oldes buildings in the area, which was neatly renovated.
