英文原文

Dedicated to the art, history and culture of Lamu, within a double-storeyed old fort built in 1892, Lamu Museum, begun in December of 1971, collects, conserves and displays the long history of the archipelago. It provides a useful nexus for travellers to the Lamu Archipelago through didactic catalogs of its long fascinating chronicles, from its trade era, to the present. Along with a venerable memorabilia library, various festivals are hosted within the courtyards. It is in possession of almost 1,000 pieces of Sassanian Islamic pottery collected mainly from nearby island towns like Kipungani. Lamu Museum is located just 200 ms north of Lamu Fort and adjacent to Lamu Catholic Church along the town’s main seafront street.

In 2023, in a somewhat controversial spruce move, the Omani Government in partnership with UNESCO undertook the upgrading of different UNESCO World Heritage sites. They partnered with the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage and NMK to renovate part of Fort Jesus, Nairobi and Lamu Museums. While the facelifts and touchup were mush welcome, it is the removal of indigenous African artefacts – replacing them Omani relics – that was met with angst and antipathy. Presently, Lamu Museum has seven new exhibits, on the second floor, dedicated to Omani and dubbed as foreign exhibits. Still and all, it showcases the cultural and ethnographic history of the Swahili people and the northern Swahili coast.
