    A bit worn down but still very interesting. You get the story from Stone Age toEnglish Colony. You should go with a guide if possible.  more »

    the museum is small but nice; opened from 8am to 4pm, they offer also few books about Gambian culture and history, maps and postage stamps

    The National Museum of the Gambia. Located at the Capital City, Banjul Island. One of the best places to know the history of the Smiling Coast of Africa. A must visit place.
