TRAVELING EXHIBITIONS

We have a Traveling exhibit that is affordable and easy to transport, install, and de-install. Our exhibit is designed to accommodate limited environmental and security resources at your venue. The Maasai Art Exhibit comes in two sets, The Maasai Bridal Collection and the general collection, which is comprised of household items, Bridal Collection, elders’ collection, and the Warriors’ Collection. The collections are developed in collaboration with the Maasai of Kenya. The elaborated art exhibit tells vivid stories of Maasai indigenous people and their natural world.

Although the Maasai are familiar to most people, many are unaware that Maasai society is made up of sixteen sections Iloshon such as Ildamat, Ilpurko, ILkeekonyokie, Iloitai, Ilkaputiei, Ilkankere, Isiria, Ilmoitanik, Iloodokilani, Iloitokitoki, Ilarusa, Ilmatatapato, Ilwuasi-nkishu, Kore, Ilparakuyu, and Ilkisonko, also known as Isikirari (Tanzania's Maasai).

Each section is slightly and uniquely different from one another. The dialects are similar but not totally the same. Each section uses the language and customs to define their territory. Maasai Association has a plan to interview members from each section and bring their stories to Maasai Cultural Art Museum.
