Botswana National Museum, National museum in Gaborone, Botswana.
The National Museum features multiple exhibition halls displaying artifacts, traditional crafts, and contemporary art pieces that represent Botswana's cultural identity.
The institution opened its doors in 1968 following an Act of Parliament, establishing itself as the first national museum of independent Botswana.
The museum galleries contain traditional clothing, tools, musical instruments, and photographs that document the customs of various ethnic groups across Botswana.
The museum maintains regular operating hours throughout the week and provides guided tours for visitors interested in learning about Botswana's heritage.
The facility expanded in 2007 with the addition of a National Botanical Garden, creating an integrated space for both cultural and natural exhibitions.
