"You need to add up others babanyonya heritages on picture galleries i.e kitchen wares like siah baba, the cups, plates and so on. It would make this web more attractive." by Rhazes
"My family and I felt very dissappointed with the treatment that we received from the tour guides. They were not obliged to answer our questions. There was no warmth in them. This would be our first and the last time to visit their museum. It is such a waste of time and money to be there. Its not worth the money. Horrible!" by Baba Yazed Song
