  It had been a while since I last visited the museum, I don't know if it's only me but I felt like some of the artefacts were missing. The junior staff should work on their services as well.... But all In all the museum is a still a nice place to visit

  Glad we visited to tick it off the list, but it is extremely basic. They have just the 1 room with a few things to see and read, plus a few vintage vehicles outside. We spent 15 minutes max, and 5 of those were waiting for the local guide who didn't come... But worth a quick visit if you pass by - only 500kwacha for foreigners. Would have preferred to pay more if someone had been there to talk us through the exhibits with a smile or an interesting story...

  It's quite interesting place full of historical stories, from animals to human evolution and music instruments. Visit this place to learn more about Malawi and colonial history

  I have been to many museums around Africa and other continents. I understand that there is not much monies going around when it comes to spending on heritage and history, but since the doors opened up in 1966 up to now, nothing more was added nor kept in pristine condition. Rubbish is laying all over the grounds and one gets the idea that no one cares to really polish any windows or dust off the show pieces. The big trucks outside could have been kept in their original state, but it's in a poor condition. School trips look like it is used for teachers to take a break while kids play around. It's sad that such history is not in a better condition.

  Compact national museum ever, but the collection of local proverbs were informative.
