Sudan Ethnographic Museum information


The Sudan Ethnographic Museum is a public museum in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan. Established in 1956 as a branch of the National Museum of Sudan, it is located at the corner of El Mek Nimr and al-Gamaa Avenue in downtown Khartoum. Until its closure in the early 2020s, the museum presented cultural objects representing the lifestyles and traditions of different regions and some of the many ethnic groups of Sudan.

As happened to other museums in Khartoum, the Ethnographic Museum has been subject to looting and vandalism due to the war in Sudan since 15 April 2023.[1] A project for complete renovation and digital inventories of the collection was started in 2022 by the Cultural Protection Fund (CPF) of the British Council and other international, as well as Sudanese organizations. It is accessible online through the platform "Safeguarding Sudan's Living Heritage."[2]
