Nhabe Museum
A small museum and arts center in Maun showing the history and ethnic cultures of the Ngamiland region and the work of local artists.
The Nhabe Museum is in central Maun, housed in a former British Army warehouse from World War II. Exhibits cover the history of the Ngamiland region, traditional objects of the Batawana, Bayei and other peoples, basketry, and an introduction to Delta ecology. The museum also hosts regular exhibitions of local artists' paintings and crafts and sells handmade baskets. It is small, so a visit takes half an hour to an hour. Admission is free or by small donation, and weekend opening hours are shorter.
Opening hours
Mon–Fri approx. 08:00–17:00; Sat half day (confirm on site)
