Luanda's National Museum of Natural History introduces Angola's landscapes through specimens, geology, and wildlife displays. It is a useful stop in a capital where many visitor itineraries otherwise focus on the waterfront, fort, and political monuments.
Expect an old-school museum rather than a high-tech exhibition, and give yourself time to read around the displays. The collection is most rewarding if you are heading beyond Luanda and want a first framework for the country's ecosystems.
