Lüderitz Museum
A local history museum covering the discovery of diamonds, colonial-era artefacts, Nama culture and local minerals.
The Lüderitz Museum is in the town centre on Diaz Street and is run by the local historical society. Its exhibits include records of the discovery of diamonds in 1908, diamond-mining tools, everyday objects from the German colonial period, displays on Nama and San culture, and local minerals, fossils and marine specimens. It is not large but full of information, and it is a good introduction before visiting Kolmanskop. Opening hours are short and irregular, usually weekday afternoons, and entry costs a small fee.
