| dc.description.abstract | Arusha is indeed fortunate to have been selected as the site for this Museum, as no Town or City can be truly regarded as such until it has developed some sort of culture centre. With the offer of the old German Boma and the promise of upkeep, the Government & the Council have made possible a good start, but my experience elsewhere indicates that certain basic musts have to be fully appreciated before such a scheme can be considered soundly launched. Firstly a museum must have a theme; it must set out to teach something. This should of course not be done with a heavy hand; with modern techniques it is possible to have popular appeal and at the same time teach a lesson. As the Northern Province and the Arusha District in particular is dependent for its prosperity on the land and the produce thereof, I suggest that the theme to be adopted should be MAN/LAND RELATIONSHIP. The exhibits could show he various stages of mans endeavor 'to extract a livelihood from the land, Hunting, Pastoralism, and Agriculture. The first5 Hunting, would enable the primitive man to be featured, beginning with Oldowai, and with exhibits of still existing primitive hunters, . indiga, Dcrobo etc. Pastoralism, good and bad, primitive and developed, is an obvious theme for the Northern Province, Whilst Agriculture has many facets which can profitably be shown to the public. | en_US |
