Moto Moto Museum, Cultural heritage museum in Mbala, Zambia.
The Moto Moto Museum houses comprehensive exhibits of Zambian artifacts, traditional musical instruments, and ceremonial objects in a modernist 1970s building.
Canadian priest Jean Jacques Corbeil collected the initial artifacts in the 1940s before the museum opened in 1974 in a former carpentry workshop.
The museum exhibits focus on Bemba people traditions, including a life-size initiation hut and displays of hunter-gatherer communities in northern Zambia.
The museum stands 3 kilometers from the main road, with access by turning left before the local prison when traveling north from central Mbala.
The institution received its name from Bishop Joseph Dupont, known as Moto Moto due to his pipe smoking during his missionary work from 1885 to 1911.
