Abstract: This paper is a formal investigation on how Museum Africa, South Africa preserves, displays and engages musical bows. I analyse the interesting ways the museum has collected, stored and researched the Xhosa Uhadi bow in their collection, from a curatorial perspective. This paper is prompted by the initiative to restore a neglected and forgotten area of musical bows, particularly those that document and encapsulate disappearing traditions and cultural practices. Museum Africa is one of the largest historical museums in South Africa with only a few musical bows. Two curators of the museums participate in this study reporting the Uhadi musical bow purpose in the museum.
