Harare gallery specializing in the finest Shona sculpture. Beautiful garden setting, an oasis of calm just minutes from the airport. See works by the best of the contemporary sculptors alongside the most famous names in the art movement.

Before flying back to Malawi I spent 2,5 hours in Shona Sculpture Gallery / Garden. I am impressed to learn about the creativity of Zimbabwiens of several generations! It is lovely presented with a lot of information. We had a very nice conversation and I appreciate the approach of the gallery, especially to support young artists in a close personal relationship.

Since 1964 this four-story museum has been an important homage to the history, culture and people of Africa.

This is a wonderful museum! It has taxidermy examples of the local wildlife, from large to small, mammals, reptiles, & birds! In the central courtyard are housed live snakes, and there are excellent exhibits about the local culture and industries upstairs.

Amazingly well maintained despite scarce resources. Really interesting history of the railways in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe including Cecil Rhodes personal carriage. Kids would love this place as you get to climb onto the trains (@ your own risk).

Always a good place to visit if you enjoy art. Exhibitions vary but are usually interesting. There is a good shop with a variety of art and craft for sale. There is also a lovely sculpture part in the gardens out the back. The café has just been revived and has great potential not yet realized. On first day was assisted by a very helpful woman and had lovely fruit juice and sandwich (sadly most of menu not available); next day no one was around to offer service although it was lunch time and I was told someone was supposed to be there (yes, I suppose it was a Monday when the main part of the gallery is closed, and I gather there was someone standing in to do the service....or not) but it was a pity. Hopefully as tourism improves again the café can reach its potential. The gallery only costs a dollar admission, a dollar very well spent.

This is a small, but very enjoyable art museum, with some high quality work. They also sponsor an art school, and there are pieces from the school as well. In the delightful courtyard, there are sculptures and also artists’ studios which can be visited by the public when the artist is there working. The building is interesting, too, all by itself!

Chapungu Sculpture Park is a bit off the beaten track, but is well worth a visit. Take time to chat to the artists themselves - not only are they incredible stoneworkers, but they are incredible storytellers, bringing each of their artworks alive with the inspiration behind them.

This is truly a place to visit if you are a history enthusiast. The museum is a marvel with many sections explaining all about the tribes and how Zimbabwe came to be what it is today, it is eye opening and satisfying to know how your origins became to be. I would recommend this not only for schools trips but anyone wanting to discover more about the origins of Zimbabwe.
