Buganda Kingdom is one of the oldest and most organized kingdoms in the region of Africa. The word ‘Buganda’ is believed to have come from the meaning of putting together a number of sticks to form a bundle – Obuganda, to signify the strength and unity as it is more difficult to break a bundle of sticks than a single stick. Buganda is a constitutional monarchy in present day Uganda and the Kingdom is united around a hereditary king – the Kabaka is unified by a strong solid culture and a rich history that dates way back to the 10th Century. In a bid to preserve the rich Buganda cultural heritage and realize Buganda’s tourism potential, Buganda Heritage and Tourism Board (BHTB) was legally incorporated and formally inaugurated by the Katikkiro of Buganda. The Katikkiro tasked the BHTB to ensure a proper and updated record of all cultural heritage sites of Buganda, develop and market the tourism industry that promotes cultural heritage; at local, national and international levels.

Though larger and more diverse collections are housed elsewhere, the hands-on traditional drums and other musical instruments are the highlight of this modest collection.

Ancient Ugandan royalty is buried at this site.
