The museum is still being built. It looks like its going to be impressive. The art gallery is open, but unfortunately not on Mondays, when we were there. Still, it looked nice from what we could see through the windows.

The actual museum was STILL under construction (August 2022), but we could enter the gallery. Do not expect a National Gallery like the Iziko South African National Gallery in Cape Town or the British National Gallery in London that displays artworks of historic and stylistic importance - this is a commercial gallery that sells art made by local Tswana artists. The artworks range in quality, but there are some noteworthy pieces. I particularly enjoyed the basketry. The overwhelming focus is on sketches and painting, and there is definitely much talent in Botswana.

Currently undergoing major renovations so despite what the information says, it will not be open at 7:45am tomorrow morning. The entire place is a building site!

Great place to learn things about Botswana. Great for visiting with Kids as well, they will enjoy it. However i have been visiting since my youth and it has not changed much if at all in the past 25 years. Could most definitely do with some revamping especially for us who have been there several times. But I suppose if you are visiting for the first time it id definitely worth it. Also has a exhibition hall that from time to time hosts different art and photography exhibitions and events.

The national museum has been closed since 2016 and projected opening date still hasnt been released to us the public. Theyre also currently not using the art gallery space on the museum grounds for art but rather to display posters with information on various things. Very boring and uninformative. Zero creativity. The museum that was the same for years was better than this make-shift museum of posters. Definitely not a place to take guests or children. Disappointing.

The Museum was temporarily closed during the time I went there although I was still able to walk around and see what it offered. This museum seem small and outdated but believe it was close for renovations. The reception told me that the museum is normally free of charge.
