IntroductionFor the development of this guidebook, the Museums Association of Namibia sought to obtain an archive of good quality photographs of Namibian museums, including detailed images of some of the most important objects in the museums’ collections.
A professional photographer, Trace Garren of Townhouse photography was therefore contracted by MAN to compile the portfolio of images. It was not possible for him to visit every single museum in Namibia so he visited 20 museums in around the country.
The museums are categorised in the guidebook by region. More information about MAN’s member museums and museums can be found on the MAN website at www.museums.com.na.
Please contact us with images and information so that we can expand and update this guidebook. For example, this first edition has no information on any museums in Omaheke, Ohangwena or Oshana Regions.
