Cultural Museum
While this museum is not very impressive at first glance, it does contain an enormous variety of intriguing items on display.  There are examples of bark cloth along with the instruments used to beat the bark into fiber strands and weave them into cloth.  Several different kinds of masks and costumes are presented including a white man mask with an exaggerated mustache and wrinkly neck, and an impressive full-body Guerzé mask-wearer's costume.  Ceremonial circumcision costumes and instruments are also on display.  Finally, there is a fascinating display one the development of a kind of African "swastika" symbol presented through a collection of printing blocks.
