Museu de Historia Natural

Impressed by the new renovations, worth checking out. They have a small gift shop ón the first level and a cafe on the second floor. Thé ethnographic room was my favorite.

A must see destination in Maputo! Cost MT300 for foreign adults & MT100 for locals. International standard natural history museum with a full skeleton of a hippo at the entrance. Vivid life-size stuffing of a variety of animals in different habitat. Also some sculptures and write ups in English and Portuguese of different educational things. Great way to spend the afternoon. Disabled friendly bathrooms

Excellent Museum for all age groups. Very well maintained and extremely detailed. All foreigners above the age of 11 must pay 300 metical each to enter. All nationals above the age of 11 have to pay 100 metical each to enter. Children below 11 (foreigner or national) have no entrance fee.

I used to come here as a child all the time; it had been a few years since my last visit, and I wasn't dissapointed. Everything was exactly as I remembered it, which isn't really the best thing, as some information was outdated (the evolutionary tree, that sort of thing), but it is a magical place, and truly somewhere one must visit when in Maputo. The building is beautiful, but sadly, there is no wheelchair accessibility; a flight of stairs inside, too. Some of the taxidermy is a little funny, but a lot of effort and care went into the placement of the animals.

The museum is a nice attraction to visit. It's very sad that the exhibits are not being maintained and restored. Many of the taxidermy animals are decaying. The museum is very hot side as there is no aircons that is working. Entrance is 100MZN (R25) pp - February 2022 price. The gardens outside is not being maintained is has lots of rubbish. There are some dinosaur replicas with info plates next to them. I would recommend for anyone visiting Maputo for the first time.

The building itself is beautiful. The collections are what you would see in a Natural History Museum elsewhere with the exception of the elephant foetuses preserved in formaldehyde which are fascinating.

Nice natural history museum. May not be the largest there is, but the guided tour is informative and entertaining, especially for children. There's a lot of information about Mozambican animals.

Museum of Natural History, located in the centre of Maputo city easily accessible. It shows most wildlife in Mozambique(including some African countries) with a section with crafts from old times in Mozambique. Really worth visiting. The entrance fee is reasonable.
