It showcases the similarities across Southern East African people. This is perfect for an educational trip. Do not miss out Hopefully the lighting will be fixed soon

A fantastic place to visit to truly understand the history of Zimbabwe and how it came to be and its huge relationship with other Sadac countries and the different natural resource you can find You don’t have to buy tickets before hand you buy at the entrance It costs $7 if you from sadac and $10 if you a international visitor and I think $1 if you are Zimbabwean

It was such a nostalgic visit for me, it still feels the same from my childhood. But I think they can stand to update a few exhibits, and maybe liven up things a bit to draw in a younger crowd.

Very quiet and informative, the fee is not that much, a good place visit with your family

Great place to visit,was as an educational trip for the kids but surprisingly learnt something as well.

Beautiful place with well kept artefacts and details on the displayed items. The ventilation could be improved though especially if there is a lot of people visiting. The staff were friendly and courteous. There are different prices for entry. US$3 for locals (Zimbabwe citizens ) must produce ID's .

The place is good, but they removed the live snakes which my husband loves . My one year old loved it
