Windhoek's mayor Fransina Kahungu, together with Namibia's founding president Sam Nujoma, have officially launched the new "Windhoek City Museum" on Robert Mugabe Avenue earlier today. The museum aims to preserve and reflect the memory and identity of Namibia's capital, inform visitors about the past and present of the city and to provide an educational space for students and researchers. It showcases artefacts, sounds and images that reflect Windhoek’s tangible and intangible heritage. The "Windhoek City Museum" has five galleries, namely: Pre-colonial Windhoek & Windhoek during the German Period, Life in the Old Location, Windhoek Today, Wild Windhoek and Temporary Exhibitions. We have contacted the City of Windhoek regarding location, opening times and tariffs. We'll keep you posted!
