This study assessed the museum's functionality in fulfilling its mandate, focusing on its role in the information flow of Parliament, its intended users and their expectations, the nature and use of its collections, and opportunities for improving its utilization methods. Using a mixed-methods research design, the study employed interviews, questionnaires, and observation to gather qualitative and quantitative data. The population of the study comprised of Parliamentarians, students and general public. The sample size of 70 respondents clustered as (Parliamentarians-120, students -12 and General public-18) was used in the study. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS v.20 software, while content analysis was used for analysis of qualitative data. Findings revealed that the Uganda Parliament Museum significantly contributes to the information flow within Parliament by preserving legislative history, supporting research, and fostering public engagement. It serves diverse users, including parliamentarians, researchers, students, the general public, and international visitors, with expectations ranging from educational resources to insights into Uganda’s democratic evolution. However, gaps were identified in civic education programs and digital accessibility. The museum houses a rich collection of historical documents, artifacts, and parliamentary records, though repetitive content and limited digital preservation were noted as areas needing improvement. Current utilization methods, such as exhibitions and educational programs, were deemed effective but could be enhanced with technological innovations and expanded public engagement. Proposed strategies included digitizing archives, introducing interactive and thematic exhibits, launching mobile museum initiatives, and enhancing civic education programs. These interventions aim to modernize the museum, improve accessibility, and expand its impact on various stakeholders.enAssessing the Mandate of Uganda Parliament Museum
