    The National Museum of Tanzania located within Dar Es Salam where you can learn about TZ history and culture. If you love old cars, there is a selection of former presidents cars there. No need to hire a guide. You can bi card for the visit fees, they a have an very interesting souvenir shop.

    This is the worst museum I've ever been to. More than 2/3rds of it is empty. I don't know if they are renovating it but they should either close it or charge nothing. It costs $6 and they say they will only accept card payments. The few rooms that you can browse have small digital prints of President Nyerere meeting with African politicians in the 1960s with no real explanations about the significance and letters he wrote to President John F. Kennedy that are full of grammatical and wording issues. This is supposed to be the museum of culture and there is only one small room of bad, contemporary paintings. Local art shops have better works. There is a small hall about early human evolution and fossils but there are almost no bones or fossils shown. Don't bother going here. Tanzania is so rich in history and culture. They could have had an exhibit of the tribal clothing traditions throughout the country or the dark history of colonialism and independence but there is really no history or culture worth seeing here. I saw everything in less than an hour and wanted my money back at the end.

    The national Museum has SO much potential. As a history teacher I was underwhelmed, happy and low key embarassed by the place all at once. On a positive note impressed by their early man exhibition. Its a bit awkward have the U.S embassy bombing memorial in the complex as important as it is. It felt out of place at our national museum. An appropriate place for it would be the actual location of the former embassy. The staff at the museum are pretty rude and unprofessional which is not surprising for Dar. So dont expect qualified staff to help with you with anything. They seem like they’d rather be unemployed. The vehicle exhibition needs to be indoors as the salty ocean air is deteriorating the cars massively. I was horrified to say the least as those cars have incredible national value let alone a heafty price tag. The old museum building is one of my favorite buildings in the country was sad to see it in a state of neglect despite the Turks sponsoring its maintanance. This museum is suppose to be a relfection of how far we have come as a nation. And hope the government will prioritize and hire qualified designers and curators to bring this glorious place to its greatness. There are many qualofied Tanzanians that would help make this place a place of institutional memory and a reflection of the past to inspire future. My five stars are for the potential this great place has.

    I was not sure what to expect but surprisingly, I had a wonderful time. It is a lot of cut outs but if you take one of the guides they offer (for a small extra fee of course), you will have a good time. I did not use the guide as I always feel rushed when I use them but I still had a good time getting glimpses of the history! There was an interior home sapien exhibit going on that I thought was interesting and could be fun for kids. The people were very welcoming and the only time I got a little frustrated was when the guard kept asking me for a ticket but I had paid cash and did not have one. I was just frustrated because I wanted to enjoy the exhibit without interruptions. He did invite me to join him for lunch which I respectfully declined as I was not quite hungry yet. All in all a very good local activity to enjoy and relax. Hopefully they get more art to showcase as some areas are still in renovation and some rooms were pretty empty. Buying tickets was easy. If paying in USD it costs about $6 and in Tanzanian shillings about TSHS 13000

    A fascinating museum to spend an hour or two if looking to escape the heat or the rain. I found the staff to be extremely friendly and personable, which was pleasant. The exhibits are interesting and the information cards are very descriptive and well written in English. During our visit, I noted another guest who was visiting with a guide, however, I found that the written information provided was more than sufficient, allowing you to go as fast or as slow as you want. The main exhibit was nice, and I enjoyed the contemporary art exhibit as well, though the rest appeared to be crudely displayed with old discoloured photos and more of an afterthought to fill the space.

    I must admit it was a bit embarrassing to visit the museum with a friend who was visiting ( local charges are 2500 foreigners 12,500, they take mobile money when we visited their network was down so they charged us an extra 1000!) The only note worthy exhibit was the cradle of man however most places lakes proper explanations the staff were quite unfriendly and plain rude it felt as though they were there against their wishes. There were lots of cobwebs and dust around most display cabinets. In some places it was really hot even the fans were switched off. In other exhibits there was a repetition of pictures. The museum is filled with newspaper clippings and pictures which can easily be viewed for free on Google. There is alot of maintainance work going on and hopefully that will bring some positive changes. It's a shame that we are a country filled with history and culture and yet our museum is in the state that it is

    The museum is kind of small, and only covers the history of the country. The most important exhibition is the one focusing on paleontology and early archeology in the Olduvai Gorge. The colonial exhibition as well as the selection of contemporary Tanzanian art are educative, but largely superfluous. Still, good value for money since the entrance fee is 12.000 TSh.

    Should visit at least one time if you are visiting Dar. Good experience! Lot of fossils and skull where displayed. Ivory, trades, savory and pictorial representation or pre and post independence era... But some items are open anybody can touch even make damage.. Looks like lack of ground staff. More than that it is a peaceful place..

    I am not so satisfied after visit in National Museum. I was interested in the exhibition of the art and history of slavery. I lacked information about the Swahili culture and the history of building the country. Lots of information about Julius Neyere's activities and history. Old fashioned museum Price: Ticket 12 000 TZS for foreigner

    This museum is okay. The exhibition of Tanzania’s history is informative and interesting enough but fails to explain anything about the nation's many tribes and clearly hasn’t been updated in 15+ years. The contemporary art collection is more disappointing as it’s neither diverse nor contemporary. The pre-history exhibit on archaeology is quite nice as it was provided by Spain, not the Tanzanian government. The site is also the location of the US embassy bombing memorial, just created in 2018. The memorial is very good and can be seen without paying the $6 museum fee (cards or mobile only, no cash accepted). Overall, worth an hour and a half of your time. 🇹🇿

  • 4/5 Armin H. 4 months ago on Google • 37 reviews
    Museum describing the history of what today is Tanzania. From prehistoric times up to modern days, a lot of information is provided and many historical items are on displace. There is also a memorial dedicated to those wounded and killed in the 1998 Kenya/Tanzania embassy bombings.

    I have visited the national museum, it's a cool place where you get to see historical things. Me and my friend really liked there and hopefully other friends gonna come visit. I liked the colonial cars which were being used, Royce Louise and the remaining skull of the elephant, the chief materials, the rock area and the place where you roll something for a bingo maybe and slavery history. Everything was lit, they have cool receptionist. You can see it on the photos. Thank you

    Had a good experience, payment for locals is 1500tsh (0.65$) for foreigners it’s 6500tsh (2.82$) you can also hire a guide for 11,000tsh (4$) or less ,one setback is you can only pay via Card or mobile money like MPesa , It’s a nice day place to learn and understand the History of Tanzania it’s people and the culture ,

    It is supposed to be a museum. It doesn't appear much like one though. Still, there's a collection of Nyerere's cars, an old world war cannon and some stuff. I wouldn't recommend it to a local, but if you're a foreigner looking for a museum 🤷🏾‍♂️ I think it's one of two in the city so......

    (Translated by Google) The linden tree in the courtyard has a long history and is strong and lush enough. The place is small, the exhibits are not rich enough, and the history and culture of Tanzania are not fully reflected. The introduction and exhibits are too simple, mainly involving ancient geology, political figures, wood carvings and paintings. The relevant national and ethnic tribal cultures (such as marine culture and Great Lakes culture), economic development, national economic development planning, tourism resources introduction, etc. can take the opportunity to learn more about Tanzanian information for tourists, but are not introduced or displayed. You can learn from the Kenya National Museum, there is still a lot of room for improvement, I hope it can be improved and more attractive! (Original) 院内的菩提树历史悠久,足够粗壮茂盛。地方不大,展品不够丰富,没有充分体现出坦桑的历史及文化,介绍内容及展品过于简单,主要涉及古地质、政治人物、木雕及画作等。而相关的国家及民族部落文化(如海洋文化及大湖文化)、经济发展、国家经济发展规划、旅游资源介绍等可以借机会向游客深入了解坦桑的信息都没有介绍或展示出来。可以向肯尼亚国家博物馆借鉴学习一下,仍有很多改进的空间,希望能够完善的更具吸引力!

    BEWARE!!! People selling tickets at the museum are scammers. We realized days later that we were charged double! We visited on a Sunday afternoon. When you arrive the person selling the tickets will be very nice to you and explain you that they take payments only by card but the system is not working. You will be told to just go on with your visit and pay afterwards, and if the system is still not working they can take cash. After the visit, the payment system was "still not working" so we were asked to pay in cash...24 000 shillings for two persons (just the visit, no guide, no extras). For a moment I tought that it is quite a lot for such a museum, but nevertheless I did not argue and paid in cash. Of course no tickets or receipts were given...it is clear in whose pockets the money ended up... Totally dishonest persons working there. They should be ashamed of what they are doing. Scamming people in the country's National museum! This is not the first time a visitor ia overcharged (see other reviews on Google / Tripadvisor).

    Payment is done via mobile banking. I had to leave to deposit money to Tigo pesa (just opposite at IFM University) then come back. I am happy that it only costs 2500 for East Africans to get admission. I would have learned even more about the history of Tangayika (Tanzania) with a guide. I am even happier that during my visit I stumbled upon an exhibit of contemporary art by Kuwait. I definitely recommend a visit (ask for a guide)

    Wenn man sich in die Informationen einlöst, kann es Interessent sein. Manchesmal chaotisch, doch ist versucht worden, viel der tansanischen Geschichte aufzuarbeiten. Sowohl jene vor vielen Millionen Jahren, als auch jene der letzten zwei Jahrhunderten. Sklavenhandel, die Deutschen und Engländer, werden m.E. zu emotionslos dargestellt. Insgesamt informativ.

    I always try to visit Nationl museum when travelling as what it presents capture the countey's collective psyche. I went early in the morning at 9 am and only myself was there. I liked the quiet atmosphere. The first floor was dedicated to the first president and the country's struggle during his period. The second floor is more about the history of the land, paintings, and i particularly enjoyed the rock art section in Africa. Worth visiting - the entrance fee is 12,000 (+500 for transacrion fee). All payment should be made on card as it has become a rule.

    Good place to understand the history of our nation with respect to our culture. This house should have a specific policies that ensure cultural preservation and the spirit to know about the background of our nation this can be easily formulated through various published journals, magazines and through various media this will motivate and increase patriotism to the citizen to take time and go to national meseum and house of culture to explore a lot but also for foreigners will be in a good way to come and exploring various information that's going to add the values of foreign exchange and exposure of our cultures activities to the world wide.

    It covers large part of Tanzanian history, from the medieval to modern period. There's a section of evolution and natural history which might be specially interesting for minors. Very helpful staff and fair prices.

    It was a very beautiful place to see, and quite connects you to a very ancient spirit, with all the old objects, photographs and interesting of all, skulls and bones.

  • 5/5 Oliver S. 8 months ago on Google
    This is a really well made museum of Tanzanian history. In particular, the section about how modern human life came into existence is very interesting to read. The rest of the national history is displayed more briefly, however, still well done. I do recommend looking at it.
