Near the banks of Lake Victoria, Kampala, the capital of Uganda, is a lively city with a long history. Before the British, the city was the capital of the Buganda Kingdom, and remains so to this day. The city sits on several hills, each housing an important government or religious building. Kasubi Hill is the home of the Kasubi Tombs, a sacred burial ground of Buganda Kings. The Uganda Museum sits atop Kololo Hill, and features a hands-on collection of traditional musical instruments.

Gallery Antique Uganda specialises in tribal art sculptures, masks, old bead work and pottery My name is Joe Nixon Ndyanabangi. I have been a dealer of tribal African art and antiquities for 20 years now and specialise in arts from the Congo, Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya and South Sudan but also minimum artifacts from Rwanda and Burundi. The collections accumulated after 15 yrs running three gift shopsand purchasing a lot tribal art and after curating a contemporary art gallery – Tulifanya Gallery – for 12 years and owning three shops in Uganda. After a while I decided to specialise in old, authentic, field-collected pieces which I sell to reputable collectors and international dealers. For those who are curious enthusiasts, collecting or dealers, you are welcome to telephone us to view our humble gallery and showroom on Gayaza Road, eight miles from the city centre of Kampala.

The vibrancy of Kampala plays with all of your senses and, Gallery Antique curated by Joe and his staff, does not disappoint. Joe has masterfully acquired hundreds of authentic antique art pieces from the region and use the entire property to tastefully pepper the compound with artwork. You can find antique shields made of hippos hides, ceremonial masks, head rests, tapestries and many more. Most rewarding and beneficial is the wealth of knowledge and eye for detail which Joe effortless possess, is unparalleled. When in Kampala a visit to Gallery Antique is a must and ask to see Joe’s personal treasures. That’s the cherry on top.
