A stunning 1 hour drive from Maseru. A quaint small collection of Basotho history and artefacts. A few dinosaur fossils on display. A further 2 hour hike to view dinosaur footprints but it was 2 hot for my 2 kids. A short walk to the craft room where a local spoke to us about some of the pieces on display. I would recommend this place to families, advise you to bring snacks for younger kids, this would not be at the level of capital city museums, but value for money and a nice experience

The Museum has a collection of great books about Basotho and Lesotho. It also boasts rare specimens from the Past. Improvements that are needed will be to improve the Museum and Archives' online presence as well as wider marketing for audiences in and out of Lesotho
