The Ssemagulu Royal Museum is a privately owned Ugandan museum located in the Kampala suburb of Mutundwe, Lubaga Division.[1][2]
History and etymology
Ssemagulu Royal Museum was founded in 2014 by John Ssempebwa who is a former chief executive officer of the Uganda Tourism Board.[3][4]
According to the folklore of the Buganda, "Ssemagulu" was the former name used for the throne occupied by kings of Buganda and was a symbol of authority.[5] It is from this that the museum derives its name[1]
Collection
The museum has a varied collection of
Uganda Protectorate from 1952 to 1957.[3]
Being a place that is frequented by students for educational purposes, the museum intends to use film in its collection as part of its instructional tools for visitors in the future.[8]
