The Comoros National Museum is run by the National Center for Documentation and Scientific Research (CNDRS). It is small, with galleries for natural history, archaeology and ethnography. Visitors can see a coelacanth specimen, a 'living fossil', material on the Karthala volcano, traditional musical instruments and wedding costumes, all of which help explain Comorian history. Admission is cheap, but opening hours are irregular, so it is best to check in advance. It is located in central Moroni.
