       Villagelife and Tanje Village Museum

We visited local village, where families lived their life with animals and everyday work, and had a little peek how that life looks.

Tanje Village Museum was a unique place where the natural history and traditional culture of The Gambia is presented in an interesting and accessible way to tourists, Gambians, local inhabitants and school groups.

It is also dedicated to a research into the uses of plants in medicine, textile dyes and in traditional beliefs.

We saw  traditional craftsmanship as blacksmith, weaver and woodcarver worked.  Artisans have their workshops in the grounds. They demonstrate their craft and sell high quality products to visitors.

You can find more information from the Tanji Village Museum's site.
