I loved to go back in time and learn about Angolan's previous money currency. Simple access. Respectful staff. I also noticed that a lot of schools/teachers take their pupils to the museum.

Very good museum. I really like the architecture of this museum. From the outside it looks like a shiny monument, but once you walk next to it there are steps leading down into the museum. The museum was clean and very well organized. Most of the exhibits are very informative. There’s a very cool exhibit that allows you to pick up a gold bar, but you have to insert your hands into the two security holes. There were 3 or 4 school bus trips when I visited the museum and the museum staff appeared to have the groups well organized.
