Eyl Children's museum
About This Museum
Tucked away in the coastal town of Eyl, this little museum has become a real treasure for the community. It started as a passion project by local families who wanted the younger generation to connect with their own stories, not just the ones from textbooks. You'll find it humming with the sound of children's laughter, a place where history feels alive and personal. It’s more a living room for shared memories than a formal institution.
Collection Highlights
Kids are always drawn to the display of traditional Somali toys, like hand-carved animal figures and games played by their grandparents. Another favorite is the 'Storyteller's Corner,' with vibrant fabrics and cushions, where elders sometimes come to share tales of the old days.
Visitor Information
It's right there in the heart of town, easy to spot by the colorful murals painted by local kids on its outer walls. Just pop in; it’s the kind of place that welcomes you like a neighbor.
Architecture & Building
It's housed in a modest, single-story whitewashed building with a corrugated metal roof, typical of the region, made brighter by that beautiful community artwork.
