Treasures of Africa Museum is culmination of painstaking research and much personal sacrifice by the founding curator, John Galletly Wilson. This Scot devoted more than 30 years on the study of culture and linguistics of the Karamojong and Turkana people of Kenya and Uganda. This museum displays his rich treasure of collections. This private museum is the personal collection of Mr. Wilson, a former colonial officer in Uganda.
Almost every object they were using in the course of their lives is there: clothing, weapons, tools, utensils, ornaments and many more; some very rare, many very beautiful. It is a snapshot of the Karamajong people.
Many of the items in the collection are identical, or very similar, to those that can (or once could) be found in the Turkana region. This is because the Turkana tribe is closely related to the people of Karamajong (njiKaramojong) by blood, by a shared hostile environment, by history, trade and theft and the fickle bonds of enmity and friendship.
Mr. Wilson's small museum illustrates his theory that a universal worldwide agricultural culture existed as far back as the last ice age.
