What to See, How to Plan & Tours

The National Museum of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Musée National de la République Démocratique du Congo) in Kinshasa showcases the rich cultural and historical heritage of the country's diverse ethnic groups and past. Officially opened in June 2019, it replaces the former National Museum and serves as a hub for the preservation and celebration of Congolese history. The museum was built with significant support from the Korean Agency for Cooperation (KOICA), incorporating eco-friendly design features like solar energy and locally sourced materials. With three expansive exhibition halls covering 6,000 square meters, it displays up to 12,000 cultural artifacts, offering visitors a comprehensive view of the nation's heritage.
