Phuthadikobo Museum, Historic museum on Phuthadikobo Hill in Mochudi, Botswana
Located in a 1920s school building, the museum exhibits local artifacts, traditional crafts, and photographs documenting regional life spanning over five decades.
The museum opened in 1975 through collaborative efforts between educator Sandy Grant, Kgosi Linchwe II, and the Bakgatla community to preserve local heritage.
Through its exhibits, the museum documents the traditions of the Bakgatla people, featuring photographs by Isaac Schapera and Duggan Cronin from the early 1900s.
Visitors can purchase silk-screened products, cold drinks, and publications about Mochudi at the museum shop, which operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 17:00.
The museum hosts Africa's only silk-screen printing workshop, providing employment and training opportunities for local community members while producing traditional designs.
