During our opening week, we hosted Canadian artist Hans Poppe, who has family ties to  Iringa.  With his wonderful Swahili themed art work, it added a special touch to our launch.  Members of the community came to meet the artist as well as tour the museum.  We now have several pieces permanently on display in the Boma for our future guests enjoyment.

A big thanks to Hans and everyone who participated to make this exhibition possible.

Come Visit Us at the Museum!

The museum is now open daily from 9:30 am to 6 pm.  Located in the heart of Iringa in Southern Tanzania, our museum is a place of stories. Stories about Iringa in the past and the present, about the different people making Iringa their home, about customs, traditions and ways of life and about the fascinating places that make Iringa unique.

With exciting temporary exhibits as well as rooms which highlight the History of Iringa, Cultures & Traditions, Natural & Cultural Treasures and interactive displays, there is sure to be something of interest to everyone.
