Phuthadikobo Museum, Historic museum on Phuthadikobo Hill in Mochudi, Botswana
Phuthadikobo Museum is housed in a 1920s school building perched on a hill overlooking the town of Mochudi. The collection displays traditional crafts, everyday objects, and photographs documenting more than five decades of local community life.
This museum opened in 1975 as a community-led effort to preserve and celebrate local heritage. Early photography collections from the 1900s provided the foundation for documenting generations of Bakgatla history.
The displays here document the life and traditions of the Bakgatla people through photographs and objects collected over decades. You can see how daily routines, crafts, and social practices shaped community identity.
The museum works best on weekdays when staff can provide tours and answer questions about the exhibits and local history. You can buy handmade products and local publications at the shop before or after your visit.
A silk-screen printing workshop operates on site, training and employing local craftspeople to create handmade designs. The printed products you can buy directly support these artisans and their families.
