The Museum/Art Gallery
The Beads museum is a part of the BEATS OF BEADS Art-center. It displays a huge collection of beaded artifacts from East-Africa (clothing, vessels, bowls, jewelry etc') and exposes the visitors to the diversity of colors, styles, and tribal identity as expressed in the beads!
​
In Africa, beading is not only the creation of jewelry, but an important way of expressing personal and social identity - The size of the beads, their shape, color, how they are woven and the finished product - indicate their creator: to which ethnic group does the woman belong? Is she a child, unmarried or married? Does she have children? and so on.
This is why the bead works of Africa are so diverse and so special.
