National Museum

It's a very Majestic and Historic environment. The sculptures and dates displayed in public view, just gives that feeling of intrigue, curiosity with a nostalgic humbling to know that men and women alike moved those same paths centuries ago.

Located in the former presidential palace, interesting take on the culture and diverse ethnic groups. Must visit!

Reservoir of history of this region..... Splendid job done. 5000 CFA was entry fee for foreigners. More 5000 was the charge for taking photo inside which was optional and I did not avail. A english speaking guide was there to explain everything. It was a good visit eventually.

Very good English-speaking guide Njiward Valery, who tells not only about contemporary artists, but also the culture, history and a usage of musical instruments. Helps to understand current political situation in Cameroon. Nice to visit place, sometimes randomly closes. Price for foreclosures is 5k XAF + 5k for making pictures.

I was there and I can say is the biggest Museum in Cameroon and it’s actually very good. A visit in the Museum can educate you about the Cameroon society how it originated and why it is where it is now.. I actually love the English Guide we were given he explains things so well, bad I had just 1:20mins he was to cover everything in 2hr to 3hr but I was not able to stay that long. Nationals: 2000frs Nations student: 2000frs Foreigners: 5000frs. As a Cameroonian make sure you visit the National Museum in Yaoundé once in your life!

The National Museum Yaoundé is a great tourist site that exposes one to the history and culture of Cameroun. In general, you'll learn about the various geopolitical zones of Cameroun. You'll see photos of the rich culinary variety in Cameroun. Additionally, the museum features certain insightful artistic exhibitions that make for a scintillating conversation. For 5000cfa for non-residents, 2000 for residents, and a 50 per cent discount for student ID Card bearers, you gain entrance and a tour guide. A one-time payment of 5000 cfa is demanded if you or your group desires to take photos. This is really on the high side for mobile phone photos. The entrance fee is high enough to cover mobile phone photos. In all, given the historical importance of the building as a former presidential Palace, it is worth a visit.
