Houses a very small collection but is worth seeing for the local art collection and a few artifacts. Stairs only to the second floor. Toilets on ground floor.

Very interesting museum. This place is one of the former encampments where enslaved Africans were held prior to being transported to the Americas. There are many such places in Luanda. I was glad to see groups of schoolchildren there for tours.

A bitter sweet moment. Happy this comprehensive homage to pre-colonial culture exists and has managed to preserve old relics. Sad, because such a vast subject deserves to be explored in greater depth. The museum feels like a scratch of the surface..
