The Uganda National Museum in partnership with the Ethnographic Museum of Zurich in Switzerland and Igongo Cultural Centre have organised the first milk exhibition in Uganda aiming at engaging the milk community.
The free-entrance exhibition is expected to attract milk lovers, farmers, dairy products dealers, consumers and government officials starting this Friday.
According to Mr Amon Mugume, the project coordinator, the exhibition is to be conducted under the theme, “Drink Deeply” and will be launched on Friday, September 22 and will run until March next year.
“The exhibition will give insights on history, traditions and milk products, indigenous knowledge systems of the communities and process of making milk products,” Mr Mugume said.
Mr Mugume said the exhibition will cover a number of milk-related issues such as milk products, milk process in different parts of the country, handling, preserving and keeping milk safe as well as marketing milk products.
Some of the activities to take place during the opening of the milk exhibition will include a round table discussion which will involve topics such as milk and culture, socio-economic and political issues surrounding milk economy as well as a milk cocktail.
