Kwacha Kulture
The Royal Gallery

A museum of a kingdom.

Move your light across the hall; tap a frame to step inside. The figures, the family, the spear and drum, and the land — each awaiting its portrait.

The Figures of the Line

The spear, the drum, and the house — likenesses and emblems, recorded and remembered.

The House Today

The living family — to be filled with portraits by VG. The living are named only with their leave.

The Spear & The Drum

The emblems of two houses joined — the warrior’s spear of the Ngoni, the drum of the Ng’oma.

The Land of the Drum

The country of the story — from the highlands a prince left to the great water that received him.
