Moto Moto Museum

Moto Moto Museum is a museum of the North of Zambia, which offers its visitors to get acquainted with the culture of the northern region, its history and ethnography. It was officially opened in 1974 as the national museum of the country, administered by the National Council of Museums of Zambia.

The Moto Moto Museum is located in downtown Mbala, in the northern province of Zambia, in the northeast of the country. The history of his collections dates back to 1940, when French-Canadian missionary priest Jean Jacques Corbey came here, and who for many years collected cultural artifacts in northern Zambia for study and preservation. It houses an impressive collection of historical documents related to Zambian culture and folklore. It contains many art objects, tools, craft tools, objects associated with folk ceremonies and objects of witchcraft. The collection is divided into four sections: ethnography, prehistory, history, natural history and presents a variety of artifact exhibitions on a permanent basis. At the Moto-Moto Museum there is a souvenir shop with traditional products of local masters.
