This is a historic sight. I loved every bit of it, like home away from home. Some of our culture is still being represented here and it takes me way back to my childhood before the rapid advancements in technology (1980's). The staff was very receptive and polite. I enjoyed every bit of my stay there. For those who have not been around Cameroon for a while especially and cannot reach the suburbs, it's a total recommend

Situé en centre ville , musée très grand avec différents thèmes exposé retraçant les faits marquant du pays . On y trouve également des salles avec des objets d'époques . Comptez à partir de 3000 eu l'entrée . Par ailleurs sur le parvis du musée vous pouvez également y retrouver des animations/ expositions proposées comme ce fut le cas la pour la culture anglophone (danse, tissus etc ..)

The national museum of Cameroon,is a must see place when visiting Cameroon. A place rich in history and presents an amazing display of history and cultural diversity of Cameroon. The place is recently under renovation and can still be visited. A little better care and maintenance would be appreciated. The cost is 2000 for adults and 1000 for students in college. 500 for children. 5000 for foreigners (Al cost in FCFA)

Reservoir of history of this region..... Splendid job done. 5000 CFA was entry fee for foreigners. More 5000 was the charge for taking photo inside which was optional and I did not avail. A english speaking guide was there to explain everything. It was a good visit eventually.

Very good English-speaking guide Njiward Valery, who tells not only about contemporary artists, but also the culture, history and a usage of musical instruments. Helps to understand current political situation in Cameroon. Nice to visit place, sometimes randomly closes. Price for foreclosures is 5k XAF + 5k for making pictures.

It's a good and ideal place to visit especially if you want a brief historical evolution of the country. It is located just a walk from the city centre at the former presidency.

Guide très compétent et accueillant qui aide à comprendre par le musée son pays et qui est ouvert à toutes les questions... Bonne aperçue de l'histoire et de la culture, belles pièces anciennes et contemporaines...

  • Jule S

Insightful collection of cameroonian history and culture. Our guide was great and I like the fact cameroonians pay a smaller entrance fee. To take pics they charge extra 5000 FCFA but there's a lot to see.

  • Fabien Bornancin

Je trouve tres dommage qu'un beau pays comme le cameroun ne bénéficie pas d'un musée national a la hauteur de son histoire. ( La guide et l'equipe ont etait tres gentils merci a eux )
