The Museum of African Heritage

The Museum of African Heritage was founded in the year 1985 when Mr., Hubert H. Nicholson and Mrs. Desiree Malik purchase a collection of African Art. The museum that these items were donated to was called the Museum of African Art and Ethnology. After the first donations were made a number of donations began to pour in from areas such as donations from the local community example art and craft and items from the Burrowes School of Art.

In the year 2001, the museum was renamed the Museum of African Heritage in order to attract a wider variety of visitors and fully address the African experience in Guyana. This museum is the only of its kind in the Caribbean.
