Nhabe Museum

The Nhabe Museum in Maun is housed in a historic building constructed in 1939, which originally served as a military post for the British colonial administration. Today, it stands as the primary institution for preserving the cultural and natural heritage of the Ngamiland region and the Okavango Delta. The museum features a wide array of ethnographic displays, including traditional San crafts, tools, and historical photographs depicting early life in Maun. Special exhibits focus on the natural history of the delta and the historical challenges posed by the tsetse fly to local agriculture and settlement. The museum also acts as a spirited community hub, providing a gallery space for local artists to showcase and sell their contemporary works. The outdoor area often hosts cultural workshops, such as traditional basket weaving demonstrations and folk-dance performances. For visitors, the museum provides an essential introduction to the complex history and diverse ethnic groups that define Northern Botswana.
