The 10 Best Museums in Maputo, Maputo Province

February 18, 2022 Alida England

Maputo, the lush capital of Mozambique, sits on the shore of the Indian Ocean. Founded as a port town by the Portuguese, the influence of travelers and traders from Africa, Asia, and Europe, has made the city a diverse and lively metropolis. The area is famous for its prawns in peri-peri sauce, a spicy concoction made from an especially hot African chili pepper. Calm down your taste buds afterwards with a beer at one of the many bars and nightclubs in the Fere de Populare neighborhood.

Fortaleza of Maputo

Reviewed By T1724OTsuem - Cape Town Central, South Africa

Fortaleza is a restored fort at the fishing port. It's one of Maputo’s oldest buildings. Artist displays recreate the history of the fort and the lives of indigenous people during the Portuguese takeover before and after independence. Views of the city and Maputo Bay are spectacular!

Small but excellent art museum featuring well-mounted paintings and large sculptures by Mozambican artists. Each work is labelled with name of artist, title (in Portuguese, but usually understandable), when born, and when the piece was created. Two floors.

Reviewed By Hugo_2030 - Helsinki, Finland

This is an interesting natural history museum with impressive exhibitions of wildlife in Mozambique. A very interesting part is a small etnographic section on different peoples of Mozambique.
