Museums Association of Namibia’s Guide to Namibian Museums Issue no. 1 | August 2018 ISBN 9789991690254 Introduction
For the development of this guidebook, the Museums Association of Namibia sought to obtain an archive of good quality photographs of Namibian museums, including detailed images of some of the most important objects in the Publisher museums’ collections. MUSEUMS ASSOCIATION OF NAMIBIA P.O.Box 147 Windhoek, Namibia A professional photographer, Trace Garren of Townhouse 131, 2nd Floor, Maeura Park, Centaurus Road, Windhoek Email: [email protected] photography was therefore contracted by MAN to compile Tel: +26461302230 the portfolio of images. It was not possible for him to visit Published: August 2018 every single museum in Namibia so he visited 20 museums in around the country.
The museums are categorised in the guidebook by region.
