The Dundo Museum in Lunda Norte Province offers a unique glimpse into the cultural heritage and natural history of Angola, with a focus on the traditions of the Chokwe people. Established in 1936 by the Diamang company, the museum houses over 10,000 ethnographic objects and 30,000 natural history specimens, including a herbarium and archaeological artifacts. Visitors can explore exhibits such as a reconstructed Chokwe village, a gallery of Angolan chiefs, and artifacts repatriated from Europe. With its extensive collection, historical significance, and role in preserving Angola's cultural legacy, the museum remains an essential resource for understanding the region's diverse history and traditions.
One of the most interesting points worth visiting in Angola. It has a big collection that represents well the culture of the ethnicities Tshokwe who live in east Angola. It the oldest museum in Angola and it keeps being One of the most important.
