  • 3/5 Theodore A. K. 4 years ago on Google • 123 reviews
    Perhaps one of the best museums of national, cultural and tribal history in the continent. The way the exposition is organized is superb. However the amount of trash and chaos in the gardens are a pity for the beauty of the building the cultural richness it houses.

    The best museum I’ve seen anywhere in Africa. It helps that the power and creativity of Congolese masks are greater than any other I’ve seen. I was spellbound in the room with initiation masks. But the entire exhibit is professional of the first order. This is a jewel.

    Paid 10$ but didn’t found anything worth of money. Couple of colorful pictures were there you can take photos and I believe they can improve a lot and place much more about their past culture which was missing. For locals they charge 2k Congolese Francs

    The interior renovations look brilliant. They make the National Museum look absolutely magnificent. If you ever go to Kinshasa this is definitely worth a visit to. I’ve learnt more about Congolese tribes here than anywhere else. Be sure to take a look of the National Museum from atop a nearby hill.

    (Translated by Google) The Pierre Savorgan De BRAZZA memorial, a tourist spot, a place where the present meets the past. It tells the story of Brazzaville, of its creation, and above all describes well the time when the explorer Pierre Savorgnan de BRAZZA meets King MOKOKO. There are images, authentic writings. This place combines antiquity and modernity. It is a very good place. (Original) Le mémorial Pierre Savorgan De BRAZZA, un lieu touristique, un lieu où le présent rencontre le passé. Il raconte l'histoire de Brazzaville, de sa création, et surtout décrit bien l'époque où l'explorateur Pierre Savorgnan de BRAZZA rencontre le Roi MOKOKO. On y trouve des images, des écrits authentique. Ce lieu allie antiquité et modernité. C'est un très bon endroit.

    Located right in the centre of the world, this place offers all the freshness, vibes, and aroma to all of those hungry eyes, and burning passion, who are down to earth, and want eternal happiness in their life. When the sweet Summer Breeze twirls through the silky, smooth, sparkly skin, and generates a whizzy whirlpool, when hungry eyes start to shine, and the heads lean towards a pure bliss whilst chasing the aroma.

    (Translated by Google) A stone so that the Congolese as well as all the visitors never forget from whom Brazzaville takes its name and that everyone knows from whose hands the Congo was offered to France as a land of exploration. Next to history, it is a beautiful place! There is a beautiful green garden and it is unparalleled cleanliness. It is an oasis of happiness for the newlyweds. Because the main entrance to the Central City Hall of Brazzaville is right in front of that of the Memorial. A peaceful place to build something strong and lasting. (Original) Une pierre pour que les Congolais ainsi que tous les visiteurs n'oublient jamais de qui Brazzaville tient son nom et que tout le monde sache des mains de qui le Congo a été offert à la France comme une terre d'exploration. A côté de l'histoire, c'est un bel endroit! Il y a un beau jardin verdoyant et c'est d'une propreté sans pareille. C'est un oasis de bonheur pour les nouveaux mariés. Car l'entrée principale de la Mairie Centrale de Brazzaville est juste en face de celle du Mémorial. Un endroit paisible pour bâtir quelque chose de fort et durable.

    I really enjoyed visiting this place. While they don’t have that many exhibits compared to museums in the US, what they did display seemed well curated and labeled. Seeing all diverse array of masks and aerophones from around the country was a treat!! Expansive and beautiful garden and entrance area with marble stone. While we were there a wedding party and at least 3 large groups of school children came to visit.

    (Translated by Google) Attention, the museum is not yet installed in this place! To visit, go to the old museum on Mount Ngaliema (entrance by the Avenue de la Montagne). It is a question of a move in the summer of 2019, but we can doubt it. On the new building, it is only indicated that it is intended to house an administration, and the guardian does not know any more. (Original) Attention, le musée n'est pas encore installé à cet endroit ! Pour visiter, il faut aller à l'ancien musée, sur le mont Ngaliema (entrée par l'avenue de la Montagne).
