Dinners and performances (tribal dance) by the Ndere Troupe. Best to check website for times.
Uganda National Museum
A natural history museum, with some static displays commencing from the stone age and moving forward to Ugandan traditional life. The Uganda National Museum has been closed to the public since August 2024 for renovations; the Ministry of Tourism site still shows a "temporarily closed" notice and no reopening date has been announced. Many tour pages still list it as open, so check before travelling.
Uganda’s National Art Gallery. Calm, spacious, green oasis in the middle of the city with art exhibitions (paintings and sculptures that can be bought) and two restaurants frequented by government employees.
Uganda National Cultural Centre
A big cultural centre with a theatre that also hosts dance shows/lessons/events, comedy, films, concerts, jam sessions, improv and discussion nights. The current program can be found at the entrance or online on social media or website. Every Monday there's a music night with live music from artists on stage. There is a restaurant located inside the venue, with a wide range of food and drinks. There's also a library, a restaurant and a large African Crafts Village with dozens of shops selling souvenirs, crafts, and also some stuff that is more artsy than all the stuff you can find everywhere else.
Designed to represent the whole country and with visitors/tourists in mind; eg, look at the gate with the symbols of Uganda's different tribes or the giant carved wood art covering the lobby walls.
Ssekabaka's Tombs
Burial ground of four Kabakas (kings) of Buganda and important place for the Baganda people. UNESCO World Heritage site. Nearly completely destroyed in a 2010 fire, but largely reconstructed with foreign aid. The tombs are central to the Buganda people's identity, acting as a historical and spiritual symbol for Uganda.
