Located
in a traditional Siwan house, the museum boasts traditional Siwan
objects
such as silver jewellery, music instruments, wedding costumes, baskets
and
ceramics. Inspired by a Canadian diplomat who feared that Siwan culture and its mud-brick houses would disappear someday; the small but interesting Siwa House Museum was built to preserve and display artifacts depicting the various aspects of the Siwan life.
