Musée Vivant de Bujumbura

This living museum in Bujumbura combines a small zoo, reconstructed traditional homesteads and displays presenting the heritage of Burundi. Visitors can see local reptiles including crocodiles, view a replica royal hut and learn about the country's history. Craft demonstrations and drumming performances animate the grounds. As one of the capital's principal cultural institutions, it introduces Burundian traditions, wildlife and daily life. The compact lakeside site blends museum, cultural centre and wildlife park in one visit.
