Exhibits range from striking dioramas of African mammals and birds to geology, paleontology, and archaeology. One of the highlights is the geology section, which traces the formation of Zimbabwe’s mineral rich landscapes, alongside displays that explain the evolution of wildlife in southern Africa.
The museum was officially opened in 1964; it contains some superb and unique displays with exhibits illustrating the history, mineral wealth and wildlife of Zimbabwe, including the second largest mounted elephant in the world.
Each month, the AJA provides information about current and upcoming museum exhibits around the world that are related to topics within the scope of the journal.
