A great little museum opened in 1975. There is an outdoors exhibit (no need to pay to see the artefacts there) including a small steam locomotive and several pieces of historical machinery.
Indoors the main exhibit covers several subjects, like geology, paramount to understand the development of Tsuneb due to mining, artillery pieces recovered from a nearby lake to where they were thrown during I World War (to prevent the enemy to use it).
Of course, lots of historical photography and an assorted collection of objects related to the town.
