A Mathematics Professor’s Cultural Museum

Growing up in a traditional Kipsigis homestead in the mid-1900s makes him aware of the erosion that his culture has gone through. Professor Paul Tum, the man behind the establishment of Museum of History, Art and Science of the Kipsigis People of Kenya at Kapkatet town in Kericho County, says that the erosion affected the traditional practices, language, arts, economic activities and aesthetics of the Kipsigis people, a member of the larger Kalenjin community.
