Museu Nacional de História Natural de Angola
Museu Nacional de História Natural de Angola, Natural history museum in Ingombota District, Luanda, Angola
The museum spans three floors containing exhibition halls with preserved specimens of mammals, fish, cetaceans, insects, reptiles, and birds from Angola.
Founded in 1938 as Museu de Angola within the Fortress of São Miguel, the institution moved to its current building in Ingombota District in 1956.
The collection includes shells and mollusks that served as traditional currency along the West African coast, representing regional trade practices.
The museum maintains departments of Ethnography, History, Zoology, Botany, Geology, Economics, and Art, plus a library and colonial history archive.
Scientific staff actively collaborate with students from Agostinho Neto University to search for new species to prepare and display in the museum.
