Independence Museum

Upper class dining experience with exceptional views of the Windhoek skyline from 3 different angles. Little on the expensive side but great for sundowner drinks or for showing guests a different side of the Windhoek restaurant experience

The building is an absolutely majestic landmark. The building windows should be cleaned more frequently though… and the lift is kind of stress inducing— also more signage would be great which says exactly where to go- we ended up on the wrong floor for a while and the 5th floor is totally under-utilised! Kind restaurant staff let us look at the view from the balcony though without eating anything :) amazing views!! Super interesting monument overall and definitely worth a visit. Has a strong nationalist feel.

Very vivid and educational experience at this museum. Loved the statue of their founding President at the entrance to the location. It set a good tone for what's contained in the building.

Right at the centre of Windhoek City, at the site of the Independence Memorial Museum. The most amazing thing, was the intersection of Robert Mugabe way and Sam Nujoma way. #feelslikehome. #Zimbabwe

I really want to give a higher rating because a lot of love clearly went into this museum. What was greatly lacking was more detailed accounts of what each level of the museum was describing. Each photo or artifact had a brief description of the people or items, but no context to the historical timeline. I noticed some televisions and iPad stands in different rooms, maybe to explain exhibits, but they weren’t on. I felt absolutely transfixed by the imagery and passionate history told throughout the museum, but I left feeling like I needed to research the history of Namibia more, not that I learned it at the museum. It’s also notable that the museum is fully free and free access to the beautiful view from the rooftop.

It's a good place to visit to know the independence history of Namibia. The history starts all the way from early 1900s into the modern era. Has some unique emblems and badges. Most of the history is told through paintings. The view from the restraunt is pretty good.

The Independence Memorial Museum is a history museum in Windhoek, the capital city of Namibia. It focuses on the anti-colonial resistance and the national liberation movement of Namibia. Nice place to see

The museum illustrates the narrative of Namibia during the colonial era, the struggles for liberation, and life after independence. It is free to visit this museum and it was great navigating from one floor to another. The panorama chamber was absolutely exquisite. On top of the building, there's a restaurant with a great view of the city where you can take splendid photos of Windhoek's metropolis.
