Short History
The Swakopmund Museum was established in 1951 by dentist Dr Alfons Weber, who had a love for history and natural history. The Swakopmund Museum is the largest privately-run museum in Namibia. The exhibits include indigenous plants, animals, minerals, archaeological finds, old modes of transport in Namibia, and a variety of other interesting exhibitions. In the Swakopmund Museum you will also find artefacts that give you an insight into the history and culture of the Namibian people.
Activities
You can decide between a self-guided tour or a guided tour. The guided tour needs to be booked in advance with the curator: Nadine.p@sciswk.com or 064 402046.
