Culture is like a scent but to be fully appreciated it needs a container. The Somali Museum is such a container.

Somali Museum is a new virtual and physical container that tells the many varied stories of Somalia and Somali people in the UK and beyond. The Somali Museum radically reimagines what a ‘museum’ is and what it can do. Combining an art gallery, library, archive, museum, dance studio and cultural center into one space, the Somali Museum collapses traditional museum models and their colonial conception – becoming a home where stories of past, present and futures can grow and flourish.

When the last remaining Somali café on Cable Street, a significant cultural landmark for our community, was converted into the now infamous Jack the Ripper Museum in 2015, Somali voices across London joined the roars of protest.
Now, five years later, the building has returned to the market. We are in discussions with the current owners and have been presented with a once-in-a-generation chance for the Somali community to reclaim a building central to our heritage and claim a significant cultural landmark for London’s Black history. We seek to convert the site into a physical hub for Numbi Arts’ long-awaited Somali Museum.
