Museu De Historia Natural de Maputo

1- Natural history Museum (starting point): located in the Praça Travessia do Zambeze, the museum used to be called Museu Álvaro de Castro and was built in 1931 – 1933 in neo – Manueline (a kind of Portuguese gothic style ) by the municipal engineer António Ribeiro de Mendonça. The original idea had been to build a school. Worth mentioning are the collection of elephant fetuses aged 1 month to 20 months and realistic wildlife scenes (e.g. lioness tearing a zebra carcass), both are to be found in the big room downstairs. Taxidermist Peão Lopes made them, and nowadays they seem a bit dusty and not the state of the art. The elephant fetuses are said to be result of land clearance south of Maputo in the early 20th century during which around 2000 elephants were killed. There are also two rooms of traditional African art. Around the building threre are the annexes, built by architect João José Tinoco, in 1965. They are decorated with two mural paintings by Malangatana, one was painted in 1977/79 in two phases and depicts yhe fight of man in nature; the other was painted in 1989. In the workshop annex (onto which the first mural is painted) is the atelier of famous Makonde pottery artist Reinata Sadimba who works here weekdays. It is one of the most exciting and authentic experiences in Maputo to see her at work. The prime minister of the time Pascoal Mocumbi and many others invited her to come to Maputo and work in the Museum.

Nucleo De Arte

Nucleo De arte: Artists association, school for many Mozambican artists. There is a really nice gallery and ateliers of the artists working there. The artists are always happy to let people see them working on their paintings and sculptures. Eugenio Mucavele, always calm and concentrated, is one of the most if not the most experienced artist we always meet when we go to Nucleo.

The tour company was not respectful of my time! The owner sent me one WhatsApp message prior to the tour to confirm the time to meet. I didn't get any messages the morning of the tour that was supposed to start at 9:00 am so I sent a message at 8:30 am stating I was on the way since I was solo. I didn't get a response and since the meet location was at a museum that was closed, I didn't feel safe waiting alone. The driver called from his phone and still didn't answer but he called the driver's phone back and told him the tour guide was on the way. In short, he finally sends me a message, after I asked him what the tour guide would be wearing and how I would know that its him. The time was now 9:03 and still no tour guide or phone call from the company. By 9:15, still no tour guide so I sent a message to cancel the tour as I no longer felt safe with this company. I was told this company was very good and well known so maybe this was a bad day for business and I was unfortunate one to experience it.

Hi, everything was fine. He is a good tour operator. He knows very much about the history of Mozambique 🇲🇿. He was very friendly and clear with all the explanation to me. It’s a pitty the musea was closed. He put up with the lack of that. Everything straight. So he will get a 10+ from me 👌🏽
