Established in 1934 and officially opened in 1936, this is the oldest and largest of the four national museums. The institution, which is open to the public, serves as a major cultural and historical center focused on the preservation of heritage.
A significant portion of the museum is dedicated to the life and work of the Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone. This collection includes his personal journals, letters, and various items of memorabilia. A specialized gallery houses these artifacts, documenting his expeditions and personal history.
The museum also maintains comprehensive exhibits on archaeology, ethnography, and natural history. These displays cover indigenous traditions, colonial history, and the struggle for independence. Specific sections are dedicated to the region's geology and feature a wide range of anthropological artifacts and historical collections.
