Musée Nationale des Arts et Traditions du Gabon

Libreville


The National Museum of Art and Tradition has exhibitions on tribal crafts and culture, and a great collection of masks and stone carvings. A guided tour (usually only available in French) helps to contextualise a lot of the items on display. Despite the opening hours given, it might not actually be open.
