Good museum with exhibits that help you to understand both past and present Uganda.

I mean its a museum...why wouldn't it be awesome...I loved the hospitality of the people at different points....they were very polite. The place is really beautiful, clean, and represents Uganda really well. I went there during the exhibition of apes and it was really good learning about them and the history and reality of them. They also sold cheap souvenirs and I loved it. You should all check it out

The reception is great. The ambience too , exceptional. The entrance fee is 5 thousand shillings only and I believe that's affordable. The artifacts too are well preserved.

I went during the apes of uganda exhibition so there was much more to see that usual. There is an entry fee if about 15k ugx /$5 for east african nationals and i think 10usd for other nationalities. Its definitely one tourist place to visit when doing the uganda tour .

I enjoyed the different artifacts displayed. I got to understand the cultural background of the waganda people...worth the visit.

I expected more from the Capital city of Uganda and the greatest historical museum in Western Africa… Few outdated, dusty exhibits, which similar ones you can find in every geological museum in Europe… I’m disappointed… The ticket for white tourists cost *3 more, then for locals… I was with my local friend: she paid 5000 Ugandan shillings, but I paid 15000…

Very enlightening. If you want to know the history of the Uganda people,their cultures,heritage...this is the place to start. It's not only about Ugandans but Africans.

With almost everything from the past,the place has well trained staff, ready to explain to visitors. It's a good place for education, leisure, and outings.

It's a good park for kids, it has swimming pool, bouncing castle, kids playground. Also has restaurants, mostly for foreigners which serve Chinese foods. The infrastructures are not so good, like the road inside

I was quite impressed with the different sections of the museum. Including the science section that focus on oil production, the section that recognised sports achievement of uganda's in Olympics etc and also the outdoor area with traditional housing

This is a best place to visit in Uganda. If you haven't gone to this place, you may not know life in its fullest.

The Uganda museum houses Uganda's rich history. However, the buildings need urgent attention in terms of renovation. The important relics and many other historical items are being exposed to the weather hazards. Which could lead to their damage and the loss of Uganda's beautiful and rich history.

Great place keeping historical I formation of Uganda. Reserved to the best possible way.

Small and quaint but very well organized. I really enjoyed my visit to the museum. You learn a lot about both historical and contemporary Uganda. The souvenir store is also good.

Wonderful museum, we can learn a lot about the history of Uganda. Rich culture. Beautiful country. I enjoyed.

It is a route way to Uganda's history, cultural heritage and environment. I recommend you to visit. If you are a researcher, The Uganda Society, the publishers of the Uganda Journal will serve your interests in all thematic areas. However, many of the country's indigenous peoples are not presented.

This must be the best place to learn about Uganda's history. there are very many artifacts inside the museum. i was particularly impressed by the guide who took me through the different sections of the museum. of particular interest was the section with former cars used to drive the presidents

A little bit old fashioned layout but nevertheless a good overview of the culture and nature of the land. The cabins that are build outside are in contrast with the modern buildings on the horizon. I particularly liked the murals on some walls

Very big museum, neat and clean.

Wide-ranging museum covers much but nothing well. Had hoped to learn of Ugandan history through some chronological narrative. Museum is instead a hodgepodge of fossils, insects, wildlife dioramas, musical instruments, traditional wardrobe & headgear, a few historical exhibits, other random stuff. Without a clear timeline, these bits & pieces make for a confusingly disjointed experience. Expected topics were pre-protectorate, slavery, protectorate, independence, modern history (including dictator Idi Amin). That's not what they do except for a few 1800s hit-or-miss swipes in small text extracts. Regrettably I walked away with little insight into the history this museum purports to share. Wikipedia is infinitely more illuminating. Of greatest interest were exhibits on hydroelectric power and petroleum exploration, but both installations seemed corporate sponsored, had no focus, and were difficult to follow. Not a lot of museum competition in Kampala so it's unfortunate more attention isn't lavished here. Much can be improved on little-to-no budget. Perhaps museum might also consider a web presence so would-be visitors can know hours of operation and pricing. DATE VISITED: 23 Jan 2022; 15,000/foreign adult

Unfortunately the museum is very run down, a lot of pieces missing, stuffed animals that look like puppets. It was still interesting going through though. The thing that disappointed me the most was that some of the traditional huts were closed without a reason being given.

Good Collection related to ugandan culture,geology and more U have to spend 1.30 hours to see all things properly.better go Inside with guides

Had a great experience of Uganda 🇺🇬 history and treasures. Had a tour with our fabulous👌 and Knowledgeable tour guide called Trinity. She was so Knowledgeable, enthusiastic and appeared to have all the time for us. Highly recommended to have one to get most out of your visit. Please visit and discover Uganda 🇺🇬

This place needs more face lift. But it's very interesting especially the cars for the past presidents. I suggest these cars be cleaned and maintained to stay looking good.

So amazing

It has information, but could have more. Facilities are nice, but doesn't seem maintained, especially for being Uganda's Museum. A good place to get your feet wet and learn some of the culture, history, and geography of Uganda.

It was an awesome place and good knowledge about the history and human lives and about uganda

Dont drive heavy traffic take boda boda.

You want to know about the African and Ugandan history/culture, this is the place to visit. Good illustrations with notes to read about. Each sector is well illustrated from the Stone Age period, Ugandan cultures, awards won for Uganda and the present age.

It was amazing… quite a lot to see and learn.

I have been to the Uganda museum many times over the years. It is the place to learn important facts about Uganda as it transitioned to a modern state. You will also find compelling storytelling using archeological and anthropological materials.

The Uganda Museum, located in Kampala, is a captivating repository that meticulously chronicles Uganda's history and diverse cultural heritage. From pre-colonial artifacts to contemporary exhibits, the museum provides a comprehensive journey through time. Its extensive collection includes archaeological finds, traditional tools, musical instruments, and ethnographic displays, offering insights into the nation's vibrant ethnic groups. This cultural gem serves as an educational hub, enlightening visitors about Uganda's social dynamics, art, and customs. The commitment to preserving the country's cultural legacy is evident in the well-curated exhibits, fostering a deeper understanding of its historical evolution. Interactive displays engage visitors, creating an immersive experience for both locals and tourists alike. The Uganda Museum stands as a testament to the nation's rich tapestry, highlighting its cultural diversity and the importance of heritage preservation. With a dedication to showcasing the past and present, the museum plays a pivotal role in promoting appreciation for Uganda's unique history and the traditions that continue to shape its identity.

Had a great time at the museum during the East Africa Scouts Zonal Educational Camp tour 2023, no waiting. I experienced the rich Ugandan culture, had a chance to witness the Ugandan stone age, photo gallery and had a chance to see some machines used by His Excellency the President of Uganda. Visit Uganda Museum.

I went with my wife. We loved it! Some of my favourites were the Maize, the stone, stone, the assortment fruits and the glassbox.

Quite a big museum. Theres also exhibition about sport, oil and presidential limousines. You need about 3hrs to see everything in slow pace. Obviously theory of evolution is promoted here so educate your kids about Creation before tour.

This place has a lot of potential... I cannot believe there are no talented designers, urban planers, botanist and architects in Uganda that could turn this place into exciting indoor and outdoor museum.

The island has the impressive rock gongs that will make you visit quite often.

Has got a number of good collections. What impresses me most are the photographs about the evolutionary chain of ani.

Great museum, across big yard with traditional houses. Gave me a good overview of the the country from colonization by the British until present day. It's a real walk through the political, cultural, and economic history of Uganda. A good introduction to those who want to learn about the history of Uganda, its people and culture.

The place was brilliant with many amazing archives

It's an awesome place to venture

The Uganda Museum is located in Kampala, Uganda. It displays and exhibits ethnological, natural-historical and traditional life collections of Uganda's cultural heritage. It was founded in 1908, after Governor George Wilson called for "all articles of interest" on Uganda to be procured.

Very interesting..

Cynibel is a great supermarket to visit especially when looking for unique "nick nacks". They have a variety of unique items that you can choose from. I decided to give them a 3 star because, even though the service was great, the cashiers were limited. They were only 2 cashiers at the entrance attending to the customers so i had to wait yet 2 other stations were available but no one to attend to customers. I would like to advise the managers to ensure you have enough cashiers present during days like today - public holiday "labour day" to attend to customers since it is difficult for Some people working at an 8:00am to 5:00pm jobs to shop during the week!

Good customer service and affordable groceries

The road network in that community needs to be worked on

Quiet place

Hub for Uganda's history and artifacts. Quiet and breezy place with ample parking space and eatery.

The Uganda Museum absolutely blew me out of the water!! I was on land but somehow it still occurred!! This Ugandan Knuckles painting really brought me back to the good old years. Loved it!!

I had gone to attend the kadodi festival which is a cultural festival for the bagisu tribe found in the eastern part of Uganda. It's a great place for a small festival.

Was ok. There wasn't much to see or learn, the museum is quite small but one still gets to learn about ugandans heritage.

Very interesting. I wish the outdoor huts were unlocked so we could see the inside

Nice museum about the history of Uganda. Good staff and fair prices. There’s also a little shop inside where you can buy souvenirs. Four stars because it’s a bit outdated as there are no information about the history within the last 30+ years. Just about most recent exploiting of oil and gas.

A nice little experience and if you are a history lover than you can visit here... its a nice place to visit within Kampala and would cost around 30,000 shilling per person which is pretty reasonable... One time visit for an hour or hour and half is more than enough

A good place to connect with the days of old. Lots of relics that'd be a good for those keen about the path from old age to modernity. However I didn't see information about past presidents of Uganda.

Disgraceful Conditions in Such a Talented Nation. Sad in almost every way. The nation has great cultures and so much history. This museum is a disgrace. Poorly laid out and hard to see. Dim lighting made worse by burnt out bulbs in several cabinets. Poorly done exhibits many of which seem to predate independence many decades back without any effort to use modern museum display design, lighting and signage. I saw several other good museums and display in Uganda. There are talented designers and graphics teams in Uganda just none used here. My staff guide was excellent and enthusiastic - if only the Museum's management would wake up.

I would recommend you go. I found the staff particularly helpful and knowledgeable. I recommend getting a guide for your tour, don't forget to show your monetary appreciation to the staff. 10 to 30k is respectful. The highlight for me was seeing president M7's armoured G-Wagon. Amins car was out for repair, apparently it has some damage from visitors. ( Fitting ). So I will probably visit again just for that when it's back. And now the downs, lighting was poor and many exhibits were in need of repair or cleaning ( dust), the souvenirs were not museum focused and priced high for what they were. But I still bought some as to me it's like a donation. I would recommend you go and allow one hour to one and a half only as it is not a large museum Don't miss the huts though, very interesting stuff. Thank you Uganda, I loved my visit.

A great adventure awaits

I liked this place because this the cultural heritage of Uganda thou I still feel something is still missing in certain cultures represented. Otherwise it was a great experience being there and the tour guide was knowledgeable enough.

All the vehicles used by different heads of state of Uganda is a very interesting museum pieces that must be preserved and more added to the stock in the decades and centuries to come.

It's good but need more development, Uganda history and culture can be presented more than that, need more space and adding technology using. My regards

Great place to read about the past, current and future of Uganda. Nice People.

A great place to catch up on the history of Uganda

It is a very attractive place, I and other colleagues of mine enjoyed seeing the most beautiful things within the Museum.

A must visit when in Uganda. Rich in East African Culture

I loved this museum. I was fortunate to have a lovely young woman who guided me through the museum. I think her name was Rose. The highlight was the performance by a Ugandan musician. This is certainly one place I will visit again.

Has Ugandas past history and portrays cultures and norms of our mother land

It's outdated

Place for Uganda history

Very.nice place

Culture is still key inside the museum

Visited the museum. Full of nice collection. From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩

Very nice and historical

Nice with historical stories

Its full of leisure

It's attractive

discover many antiques and learn about the history of Uganda and Africa as well

Everything was great and not complaining

Heritage at its best. How culture is stored is quite amazing. We received amazing service from a well versed Rosy at the premise. The Idi Amin footage is also quite something gives you the notion not often depicted in other documentaries.

Is good

İnteresting experience. Something every visitor should do.

Best way to explore Uganda history. Must visit place. Lots to explore

Good experience with my privet guide Ruth

This Museum is almost I'm the city area and is easily accessible. It has a lot of artifacts ranging from skeletons, fossils, Uganda's geographical & physical history, Aids awareness, dedicated place for established sportsmen, minerals, details on Uganda's dam, and so on.. it takes about 2 hours to have a detailed look around this museum, so plan your travel accordingly. The museum also has a small shop where tourists can buy memorabilia. They are ranged medium - expensive (cost wise).

Printing T-shirts is the best here

Nice place with a lot of historical data

Place is cool and the environment around is good

I had an awesome time at the Uganda Museum. I will love to visit again and take out enough time to learn about the history and depths of legacy of Uganda. The location is great and the environment is clean and crisp. The staff are courteous and they directed us correctly. I love the section of the museum that shows some videos of the Ugandan Leaders and times. If you come around Kampala, take out some time to visit and learn more about Ugandan history.

“Uganda is a fairy-tale, you climb up a railway instead of a beanstalk, and at the end there is a wonderful new world,” Sir Winston Churchill, who visited the country during its years under British rule and who called it “the pearl of Africa. Uganda is indeed a beautiful country blessed with wildlife and a very rich culture, which is portrayed by the Ugandan National museum. The Uganda Museum is the oldest museum in East Africa. It is located in Kampala, Uganda. It displays and exhibits ethnological, natural-historical and traditional life collections of Uganda's cultural heritage. It was founded in 1908, after Governor George Wilson called for "all articles of interest" on Uganda to be procured.  Among the collections in the Uganda Museum are playable musical instruments, hunting equipment, weaponry, archaeology and entomology. The museum started in a small Sikh temple at Fort Lugard on Old Kampala Hill. Between the 1920s and 1940s, archaeology and paleontological surveys and excavations were conducted by Church Hill, E. J. Wayland, Bishop J. Wilson, P. L. Shinnie, E. Lanning, and several others, who collected a significant number of artifacts to boost the museum. The museum at Fort Lugard become too small to hold the specimens, and the museum was moved to the Margret Trowel School of Fine Art at Makerere University College in 1941. Later, funds were raised for a permanent home and the museum was moved to its current location on Kitante Hill in 1954. Currently, the museum is 111 years old. The museum has a very visible signage that gives directions to important places such as the  cultural village, the wash rooms, entry and exit points, parking lots, the restaurant as well the emergency Exit, in case of an emergency. The staffs are very cordial; they welcome you with a very beautiful smile complimented with their beautiful attires. The tour guides are very courteous and knowledgeable. They speak English fluently and are very eager to answer any question(s) you (the tourists) might have. The environment is child friendly, so yes, you can come with your kids and they too can get the opportunity to learn about the history, culture and lifestyle of Uganda as well as that of neighboring countries. So, for art lovers, Picture lovers, nature lovers, African history and archaeology enthusiast, Uganda National Museum is the place to be. Trust me you’d Love every second  you spend and cherish every picture you take!!! Don’t Forget to Like, share and Follow @tourwithswagger and @gbogbo_swagger.  “This heart of ours was made to travel this world”………So, follow your heart!!!

There is an indoor cozy restaurant calles Ibamba restaurant. that serves great goats meat and pork. The food portions are average. Has a very wide lounge area good for sunday and saturday brunch with friends. The parking is not so great for low cars incase the parking spots on the pavers is done.

It was historical and Good

Excellent

Very poorly maintained. Dusty, dirty, poor lighting. Not worth the entrance fee at all!!

Great and enjoying

Had a short stint working with the National Museum of Uganda and The World Federation Of Friends Museums on a project which aims to digitize the information found in Museums for easy access, this was by far my favourite project as we had a chance to learn about Ugandan history as well as engage with the Ugandans that work there some of whom have become very close friends. Worth having a go if youre in Uganda

Good ambiance

Very interesting artifacts and cultural exhibits

Cool environment, good customer service.

You can shop anything from food stuffs, kitchen ware, kids clothing though they don't have them in plenty, toiletry items. The prices are affordable and you can pay using Cash, Visa or even Mobile Money. The quality of items sold is good and the staff are friendly

It's a one stop place. You can shop for groceries, fresh meat, drugs and a movie library. Wow! And the parking is great

Squeezed parking and the basement has a rather too steep climb. Dont go to the basement if you have a faulty car.

Good place to shop

Old place

This is a cultural place but is was run down by wrangles within the royal family. Most of the estates of these sacred sites was sold off. What remains is just a hut /house where the king was buried with 2_3 Spears sticking in the front fire place. Nothing exciting at all on this site. Dilapidated and unkempt.

It's cultural heritage

Great place for tourists to find out about the history of buganda's dead Kings

Historical site ,burial place for kings of buganda kingdom in Uganda

Very good place.... Love Spells that work make him love you, how to win your ex back in 24hours how to return my wife back, Lesbian love spells that work... Gay love spell +256709363271

With the renovation of the place its become a lil bit lovable.

It's a cool place and I love this road from wampewo avenue connecting to yusuf lule rd.

It has a good swimming pool and gym

A very cool & pleasant place to dine & drink from.

The place has been generally abandoned due to curfew hours, poor management of lawns and walk ways lowering hygiene levels though it should be a very relaxing place to spend an evening

Good but the effects of Corona are visible

Great place to hold wedding meetings

Good

Everyrhing for thank,

Cool and beautiful

Not bad

The place is really eye catching and has a variety of historical pieces at a fair price. Vast enough for you to enjoy every bit of the tour.

Nice place Can be better

Sadly very poor- needs lots of attention and efforts to regain its status. There are few interesting displays but not enough. Also some of the displays have their lights broken and nobody bother to fix it. However, maybe visiting will give a bit of ecomonic boost to it :)

People doing a good job to unfold the history of Uganda, which is important

It's very rich in information and has alot to offer about the history of Uganda.Though,unlike popular opinion, I personally think the Uganda Museum should be visited by kids around the age of 12 and above, not below.

59th Independence vintage celebrations

A nice interesting museum to visit to learn more about Ugandan and African history. However the building and exhibits are a bit outdated and could use some freshing up. It was clear at some parts that no work had been done to keep things up to date. Do recommend if you're in Kampala it's a big enough museum to hold your interest for an hour or 2.

A really good place to learn about Ugandan history. Nice and competent guide. 👍

Great ambience, quiet, serene environment ideal for meetings and get togethers for small groups of people

At first glance, it may not look like much, but the Roch heritage of Uganda sits quietly, waiting to be explored and experienced.

Beautiful place to visit. The history of Uganda was amazing for my little children. Tye guide was equally great and friendly

There should be tours at this place specifically designed for children.

Best feeling to learn another culture that is almost similar to yours

Fine experience, 15.000 for foreigners. Maybe a bit boring, but good to hear about the Ugandan history.

This place needs a lot of investment! Uganda history must be very rich but unfortunately it was not presented quite well.. Some of the rooms were not well lit, information was cramped on multiple A4 pages which was to small to read. However, I really like the uganda primates/big apes part which had an audio visual room and good combination of pictures, apes skeleton, and up to date research findings. Bravo for that section!

Nicely organised museum, with very friendly staff. We learnt a lot during our visit. And we were lucky enough to see some school groups with their spirit and vibes they brought in. Definitely recommended.

It was better than I expected, given the state of every single Ugandan institution, but plenty of exhibits need to be updated, some lights need to be fixed, a bit more cleaning needs to be done and the Olympics exhibit is embarrassingly outdated. On the other hand the ape exhibit was touching and semi well-done.

Amazing place to know more about Uganda's cultural Heritage. Are you planning a Tour in Uganda? It is very important that you first visit the Uganda Museum. There, you will satisfy your curiosity and widen your options.

Most parts/exhibitions of the museum are build thirty years ago and have never been updated. Also the museum mixes different topics in a strange way. Some topics are interesting for me, some not. Bringing order and the museum to state of the art would definitely bring the museum to a higher level. Although if you have some free time and already seen all other interesting places in Kampala you can go there.

History of Uganda is rich and interesting. The museum is in dire need of an upgrade to reflect the same. Its worth a visit though at 3 euro 75

Spacious gardens, ample parking and friendly staff The museum is easily accessible and offers a good learning experience
