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.[1][2] Among the collections in the Uganda Museum are playable musical instruments, hunting equipment, weaponry, archaeology and entomology.[1][3]
