Making Mus'Art Gallery ecologically sound environment

Before Mus'Art Gallery was set up in December 1996, the yard was bare. There were no plants. Thanks to the sacrifices put in by Mrs. Paulina Muba Musa (1938 - 2010) Founder of Mus'Art Gallery, who passed away in February 2010. She embarked on ensuring that the yard had some beauty. She enjoyed gardening and horticulture so she actually went around looking for the plants, planting them herself and thereafter looking after the plants. Her effort was meant to make Mus'Art Gallery an ecological sound environment in its small location. She actually succeeded thus was able to grow the plants featured on this page at the museum's premises.

Birds, butterflies, bees enjoy the plants. The noise from birds, nice breeze when the atmosphere seems to be stiff especially in the dry season makes the small backyard a fantastic relaxation area for museum guests. The area is also used for museum events. That was the space Mus'Art Gallery used for the international photographic exhibition "1000 PeaceWomen Across the Globe" it hosted in March 2007, becoming the first museum in Africa to host the exhibition. Mus'Art Gallery no doubt is highly indebted to her for greatly creating  a sense of environmental consciousness at the museum.
