Bamako Travel Guide

Mali's National Museum (Musée National du Mali) in the centre of the capital Bamako is the flagship museum for understanding Malian and West African culture. Its collection includes a wealth of precious objects such as Dogon ceremonial masks (some over 200 years old), traditional musical instruments, sculpture, textiles and everyday utensils, set in attractive garden grounds. It is often considered one of Bamako's must-visit cultural sites.
