Quite possibly the most ridiculous Museum I have ever been to. They try to charge 200 GMD to enter and then another 200 GMD to take photos. Dont waste your time going to this poorly run scam of a museum.

Without a doubt one of the best museums Ive seen on the African continent. Incredible amount of objects and artifacts, all labelled and well displayed, dating from the stone age up until today. Absolutely worth visiting if you are in Banjul.

A nice learning experience about the history of The Gambia. Not laid out in the best and most cohesive way but nice to read and walk around all the same. If youre in banjul its worth a visit

Kleines Museum, Geschichte über das Land. Nicht schlecht für die Leute die sich über Gambia interessieren. Für Fotos die man im Museum macht muss etwa zwei Euro bezahlen.

Zeer interessant. Het is niet verboden fotos te maken maar je betaald hier een klein bedrag voor (zoals overal in Gambia ;-). Zeker een aanrader om er met je guide door te lopen en door te vragen op wat je ziet en leest.

In interesting museum of a museum. Most of the exhibits seem to be dug out of closets, glued to the wall in the 1970s and barely dusted since then.It is amazing in all the interesting little details. The text is incisive with snippets like "Senegambians consider the Fulbe women to be some of the most beautiful women in West Africa"It covers a lot of subjects and eras from prehistoric to post-colonial. With a room devoted to musical instruments, enviroment, and a few other random subjects.

The National Museum of The Gambia in the capital of Banjul is a reliquary of national identity. The building offers three floors of exhibits ranging from costumes, tools, musical instruments, photos and paintings, replicas and dioramas.They depict the complex history of the Gambian people.The slave trade that served the European colonial rule is represented through artifacts and representations of slavery. The trade routes taken across the Sahara, along the the Gambia River and the West coast of Africa infused the region with a rich tradition of diversity. This includes the practice of local rule in villages through Chieftancy governance, ceremonies, colorful fabrics and fashions, arts and crafts, music, song and dance, architecture, religion and medicine. Many of these influences can still be seen today in the manner of dress, contemporary arts, and multi-cultural events.The museum is home to a vast selection of recorded oral histories of the tribes who settled and traded in the region. These tell of origins of tribes and their heritage of music, dance and story telling. Efforts to transcribe these recordings are an ongoing process, in order to establish a database for research.
