The Copperbelt Museum, founded in 1962 in Ndola, offers visitors a fascinating exploration of Zambia's rich ethnographical, geological, and historical heritage. This museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts that illuminate the region's cultural and natural history. Detailed texts within the exhibits provide context on the museum's own history and the broader history of the Copperbelt region, including insights into Zambia's mineral wealth and the origins of its towns. For example, the town of Mufulira derives its name from the word 'fulila', meaning "blacksmithing".

    First of all I might there's really for zambia national museums board to find a bigger and nice space to build a better museum.. the building looks so old, small & outdated . I enjoyed my visit, I was welcomed very well by the receptionist who took me through the starting points on the ground floor which starts with the history of the veterinary Simon mwansa kapwepwe the man who gave zambia an official name... his name is not new to the ordinary Zambians and his history is written all over the country with most of it found in the copperbelt museum , aside from the museum also shares history about the indigenous local people of the copperbelt province (the lamba people) their way of life which includes famining, fishing as well witchcraft, and off course the the history of geological and mineral rocks found on the copperbelt that was my main focus point to see & read about rocks formation and get to see the mineral copper itself and other precious stones mined in the province.. copperbelt museum has so much more to see and read about I recommend it for every African including the locals to visit it once you get time to visit ndola city ... get to learn about our rich culture, as Africans, the museum is just located within town along buteko avenue.

    Small but interesting museum. Very African and different to museums in Europe. Worth a visit. Entrence costs 50 ZMW (currently about $5) for tourists and 10 ZMW for locals. Kids pay reduced prices. There is also a local restaurant hidden in the museum. The restaurant serves local dishes (Nsima with different side dishes). The chicken was amazing and the prices are very fair (about 30 ZMW for Chicken, Nsima, two small vegetable side dishes and a drink).
