Zimbabwe Museum of Human Sciences, National research museum in Harare, Zimbabwe.

The Zimbabwe Museum of Human Sciences occupies a building designed by James Cope Christie at the corner of Rotten Row and Samora Machel Avenue in Harare's Civic Centre. Its galleries hold archaeological and ethnographic collections, a library, a model Shona village and wildlife exhibits. A large section traces human evolution and early tool use.

Founded in 1903 as the Queen Victoria Museum, the institution was later restructured to focus on human sciences research and education. This transformation reflected changing priorities in how the country wanted to understand and present its own history and cultures.

The galleries hold ethnographic collections and a model Shona village, and the Lemba artifact Ngoma Lungundu is kept here; some regard it as a replica of the Ark of the Covenant. The museum was renamed after independence in 1980, replacing the Queen Victoria Museum name.

The institution is centrally located in Harare and easily reached on foot from the city center. Visitors can pace their visit based on how much time they want to spend in each exhibition area.

The museum holds the Ngoma Lungundu, a 700-year-old wooden drum attributed to the Lemba people, which some regard as a replica of the Ark of the Covenant. It is the oldest wooden object found in sub-Saharan Africa. The drum is the museum's main exhibit.
