The Cultural Heritage Centre Reviews

Its beautiful. The art, the architecture, everything

Art and sculpture from throughout sub-saharan africa

Great art work, this was the first time I saw an art work worth more than 1million, USD 10,000

Museums and wildlife information and their history. Please enjoy

This place has a little of everything made from places in Africa. Building a museum for Dian Fossey. Has largest selection of Tanzanite stones!

No ways to hate, its a place where you get knowledge

Such an amazing cultural place,showing the African heritage!

Stop here if you will be interested in buying some carvings post cards, tanzanites, and other souvenirs, you can stop for coffee and lunch too

Tell alot about our culture through the products i loved it there.

Great for who loves shopping with sculptures of all kinds in the garden. Nice place

A must visit if you re in Arusha. Make sure you have atleast 3 hours on you to do justice to this piece of art!

Always love it. A million things to buy and see. Just the best!

Great place to buy some art and souvenirs.

The building is shaped as a shield and sword in its design to symbolise the heritage of the Masai people.

Most of the art is individually made from one single ebony wood tree which adds to the immense detail and effort they consist of.

There are some statues outside the building allowing photos to be taken.

You may also enjoy a refreshing beverage at the cafe. Ask for a mango and banana shake, it was amazing!

You can find a lot of objects coming from different places in Africa and from different ages

Excellent hosts Zahra and Seif. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

It's a good place to learn about African culture especially Tanzanian culture

The place would be amazing with institutional guides giving guided tours for anyone who wants to know more

Awesome place to soak in some art. The building itself is a work of art. You can have a bite to eat. Awesome! I wish they would one day give out a tanzanite ring for being so in love with the whole place

It's a good place to visit and see alot of new things

Unique place for arts collection in Arusha. Simply an Amazing place.

Quiet and slightly out of the way place. A detour is worthwhile. Huge souvenir shop. Good snacks.

If you want to buy souvenirs and are afraid of being slaughtered, this is a place where you can rest assured that the prices are tax-free and you do n t have to mark the price. The museum next to you can spend some time walking and the building structure is very beautiful

Perfect for arts and crafts sculptures souvenir spot and alot more to be seen not forgetting Tanzanite availability as well...

They have all souvenirs you d want to buy from Tanzania; but be ready to pay higher prices.

For any art lover...this is a mini art heaven..from the moment you walk in through the gates..to the time you get into the art gallery ...around 4 floors of beautiful work of art from all corners of Africa..carvings..beadwork to paintings.. Absolutely beautiful. PS photography inside the galleries prohibited.. :(

They have all culture products like painting canvas, culture rings etc

It's an art lover's dream come true, the gallery is filled with paintings by different artists from all over the world, not to mention amazing wooden sculptures and cultural products.

This is a really nice cultural place to visit. It gets so overwhelming as there's so much to read and see. The curio shops are quite expensive though and everything is in dollars. Beats logic if you ask me since locals rarely have dollars with them.

Is such a nice place with different artifacts and filled with real African history

The CHC is a very nice place to see a lot of arts of various forms from different African tribes and modern artists. Though there are different entities on the site, the main building is mostly a huge gallery (over 5 floors) while the other buildings are mainly stores for African-style modern art pieces and special souvenirs. It's a great place to visit and see African art, you can easily spend some hours browsing paintings, statues furniture and more - only you won't get a lot of information on African history and heritage like you might expect it from the name. Nevertheless, one of the go-to places in Arusha - go and explore yourself.

Service is good but souvenirs are way overpriced...

It's worth for visiting in here for Amazing collection.

Its a Historical site of Maasai Tribe located at Arusha northen region of Tanzania, Alot of artfact and culture center, A large beutiful architecture building like Maasai warrior Shield.

The Cultural Heritage Center is hard to describe adequately in words. Its a stunning collection of ancient artifacts, artwork, carvings, and statues. Its all beautifully displayed and an amazing respite. Stop at Olive Fig Bistro on the Patio! I recommend a Hazelnut Cappacino, Brushetta and the Chicken Alfredo with Mushrooms. Locals get your Bistro discount card!

Excellent to get an overview of African crafts and art. Seriously overpriced.

If you are into shopping and souvenirs go there. If not skip it and go to the fabulous art center next door.

Wow wow wow. The paints and other pieces of art are magnificent

Nobody is annoying, you can look around in peace or consume something - very calm, something completely different.

Excellent place to get acquainted with the crafts, art and culture of Massai!

A largest art gallery in eastern and central Africa. Shopping for Makonde curvings, gamestone and diverse African culture.

Beautiful Art Gallery showing some of the most breathtaking drawings and sculptures, vivid

Good place to get art items that you don't find anywhere else, antiques, etc

Beautiful Africa ans wood carvings and paintings. Entrance road free. Also present a shop and restaurant.
