Moto Moto Museum

Moto Moto Museum is a cultural institution in Mbala that displays tribal art, musical instruments, and religious objects from various communities across northern Zambia. The building, constructed in 1974, sits on a quiet property away from the town center.

A Canadian priest gathered the initial collection of artifacts during the 1940s while documenting the region's ethnographic treasures. The institution was later established to preserve these objects and make them available to the public.

The exhibits focus on Bemba traditions and display objects from daily life alongside religious items that reveal how these communities passed down skills and expressed their beliefs. Visitors can see how spiritual practices shaped everyday activities and social structures.

The museum sits off the main road and is easy to locate when following local landmarks from the north. There is ample parking space and the path inside is easy to walk through.

The museum's name comes from a bishop whose pipe smoking was such a distinctive habit that locals gave him a nickname, which later became the museum's official name. This personal detail links the institution to its missionary past.
