Abasuba Community Peace Museum, Ethnographic museum on Mfangano Island, Kenya

The Abasuba Community Peace Museum maintains collections of traditional artifacts and documents representing the culture of seven local clans on Mfangano Island.

Established in 2000, the museum serves as a research center for academics studying archaeological sites and rock art heritage in the Lake Victoria region.

The museum exhibits document the integration of Bantu-speaking Suba people with surrounding Nilotic communities while maintaining their distinct cultural identity.

Researchers and visitors can access comprehensive information about regional archaeological sites, including the Mawanga and Kwitone rock art locations.

The museum building, expanded in 2008, functions as a central point for documenting and protecting the ancient rock art sites across Mfangano Island.
