Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre

The Arusha Cultural Heritage Centre is located on the Western edge of Arusha along Dodoma road – about 10 kilometers, right after the first roundabout from Arusha town, opposite ‘Soko Mujinja’ a famous market in Arusha.

At its center, stands a museum building with modern architectural design boasting of arguably the biggest collection of African art in this era. From woodcrafts, statues, masks, furniture, utensils, to famous antique doors from Zanzibar to African Art beautifully embedded in paintings and photography. The heritage centre similarly has different shops for souvenirs. Shopping here is hassle-free. If in need of a meal, you will find a restaurant and coffee bar. Nonetheless, the heritage does not have a residential section. One has to stay at nearby hotels (quite a number in the vicinity). We also learnt cameras are not allowed on the premises (but took a few pictures, nonetheless).
