  I went there as a field trip with my students from a local high school. It is a wonderful place , the tour guide was very helpful, full of energy to explain the history of the museum. He made our visit a special one and memories are registered. I recommend families or groups to visit this place

  This is a great museum, although very small - more like a large gallery. There are a number of paintings and sculptures across two levels. The art is very varied and interesting. As far as I could tell, all the artists are Mozambican. The lighting was decent and the space very clean and quiet. The pieces did not have descriptions and the titles were only in Portuguese. The receptionist did not speak English but was very friendly and helpful through hand gestures. Entry was 100 mt, a very low price for an abundance of great art. Be aware that the walk from the other tourist sites to the south is uphill when going towards the museum.

  I was surprised when I visited on a weekend to find the museum open when I arrived at 1:30 pm (posted hours are only 2-4 pm on weekends). The worker was asleep, but happy to greet me when he woke up. I was already a big fan of Malangatana’s works as I’d actually seen his exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago. Highly recommend!! Mozambique has a lot of talented artists though & a unique style, so I greatly appreciated the other exhibits as well! (& highly recommend the Nucleo de Arte in downtown to but directly from current artists also).

  For some reason I felt this place does not stand to its name as for National and as for Art. For 100 MT I went inside, photos are prohibited for some reason, the collection of artworks was not that organised, not enough information avaliable. Quick look to see local art would be why you want to visit this place

  ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A captivating journey through history! 🎨 The art museum offers a spotless and well-organized experience. However, I couldn't help but wish for more artist labels – a missing piece in an otherwise fantastic display. Imagine the delight of having a comprehensive list showcasing the incredible artworks! 🖼️ From war tales to ancient history and cutting-edge modern art, this museum is a treasure trove of diverse narratives. Don't miss the chance to immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history and creativity that unfolds within these walls. A must-visit for art enthusiasts.
