Step Back in Time at the National Museum & House of Culture

Embark on a journey through Tanzania's illustrious past at the National Museum & House of Culture. Originally opened in 1940 as a memorial to King George V, today the museum is home to important fossils of some of the earliest human ancestors unearthed during the Leakey digs at Olduvai Gorge. Visitors will also find a small collection of vintage cars, including the Rolls Royce used by the former president, Julius Nyerere. With its ethnographic displays on traditional crafts, customs, ornaments, and musical instruments, along with exhibits showcasing Tanzania's tribal heritage and the impact of the slave trade and colonial periods, this attraction is a treasure trove for history enthusiasts.
