South Omo Museum

The Museum of the South Omo Research Centre is an ethnographic museum housing the research centre's collection of artifacts. The display is organized by tribe that lives in the South Omo Valley. There are 15 or more tribes here. The pictures below are of the exhibits. There is way too much here to detail each tribe. So I photographed each cabinet so the the tribe name is visible. In most cases there is a sign thst identifies the contents of the case. Check it out by enlarging the photos.
You should be able to recognize the names of the tribes I visit and connect some artifacts to them. I encourage you to see other posts, some already posted, others yet to come. There is lots more information on line about the tribes than I can post here. Take a look. This is a fascinating and illuminating part of the world.Read more
