Did you know that visiting a museum is in most travellers' to do list? Were you aware that academic institutions rely heavily on museums to enhance their programmes of study? Every country in the world has some sort of museum and they store and exhibit the objects of historical, scientific, artistic, or cultural interest. From Michael C. Brook’s book Botswana Monuments, Heritage sites and Museums, Arts & Culture compiles Botswana’s 12 museums.

Botswana National Museum and Art Gallery

Established in 1967, the national Museum and Art Gallery also known as the Botswana National Museum is located in the country’s capital of Gaborone. In 1973, an art gallery and auditorium were built and the museum now also has a well-utilised library, information centre and a video/photographic section. In 1979 a mobile museum education was introduced. It displays traditional and cultural Botswana crafts and paintings. The art galleries policy is to provide a home to art and culture and make people aware of their own artistic heritage.
