Dundo Museum

The collection is made up of sculptures, masks, mats and chairs, made using traditional techniques, styles and raw materials.
Since its founding in 1936, the museum has received several names: “Gentilic Museum” (1936), “Ethnological Museum” (1938), “Ethnographic Museum” (1940), “Ethnological Museum” again (1942) and “Museu do Dundo” (1943).
It is currently called the Dundo Regional Museum.

History:
It was founded in 1936 by Diamang, remaining under its control until 1975.
The museum promoted ethnographic campaigns in the Dundo region and in more distant areas such as Camaxilo (1937), Canzar, Alto Zambeze (1939), and finally (1946), Alto Chicapa, Tchiboco, “homeland of the Quiocos”.
These campaigns were aimed at ethnographic recognition and the acquisition of objects among local populations.
