Zanzibar Museums & Galleries

Zanzibar's Stone Town preserves its complex history through museums housed in Omani and colonial-era landmarks. Significant sites include the House of Wonders, once a ceremonial palace, and the Old Fort, built by Omani Arabs in the 17th century. The Sultan's Palace and Old Dispensary showcase ornate 19th-century architecture, while the Old Slave Market provides a somber look at the island's past. Complementing these historical sites, local galleries like the Cultural Art Centre and Dr. Bulugu Gallery highlight contemporary Zanzibari creativity and traditional craftsmanship.
