Chichiri Museum, National history museum in Blantyre, Malawi

The Museum of Malawi features indoor galleries with historical artifacts, ethnographic displays, and an outdoor section containing transportation exhibits.

The museum building, constructed in 1965 with funds from the Beit Trust and Malawi Government, opened its doors to the public in June 1966.

The collection includes Stone Age tools, traditional musical instruments, and extensive exhibits representing different periods of Malawian development through time.

Located near Chichiri Shopping Mall along Kasungu Crescent, the museum welcomes visitors every day from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The museum displays the Machinga Meteorite, weighing 93.2 kilograms, which residents initially mistook for a missile from Mozambique.
