Located in a very beautiful colonial building, the former Houet Museum (renamed Sogossira Sanou) presents a small permanent exhibition of traditional Bobo objects, such as masks, war clothes, jewellery, pottery, etc. as well as some old photos. This collection is also enriched by temporary exhibitions by local artists, who are generally present on site. It is a great opportunity to meet a Burkinabe artist and to get to know a production that is often very expressive in its plastic form. In the courtyard of the museum's entrance stands a bronze statue of a musician. You can also visit a beautiful reconstruction of the traditional Bobo habitat and a Peule hut. Possibility to go down below to see the siliures that splash around in the Houet. There is also a small local handicraft shop in the back, as well as a weaver and a sculptor. Drink to quench your thirst.

This museum is very original by several -: the presence of an artist and his workshop in the garden, with beautiful productions from stocks found in nature, made of wood, in a fantastic style... Main works of the " week of the culture" city, which provides access to the burkina-faso contemporary art, which is quite rare... Finally the full reconstruction, life-size in, with traditional houses several ethnic groups. Moreover the guide is professional and available. I find, with personal capacity, the last sentence of the comment of the " Small futé" a little severe, taking into consideration de the limited resources available to the cultural material country and the effort for the managers responsible for live the museum. Moreover it dissuades tourists to get there, reduce as its resources. Thank you with you.
