FRANCISTOWN: The local museum, Supa Ngwao is scheduled to re-open on August 25, after shutting the doors almost 18 months ago. The day after re-opening, the museum will host a jazz activation.

The museum, which first opened its doors in 1992 had financial challenges in the past years and as such has been in and out of operation leading to its closure in 2016.

Supa Ngwao is located a stone throw away from Jubilee Hospital, which lies along the railway line and next to the Nyangabgwe hill. The museum is the beacon of the city’s history and culture. It is under the care of a Board of Trustees that includes the Northeast District Commissioner, Francistown City Clerk and the Director. Prior to shutting down the museum was also struggling to generate interest from exhibitors and the public.
