musée national n'djamena (national museum)

从门口经过，如果不仔细看的话，绝对意识不到这就是国家博物馆，而且里面还会有世界上最古老的人类的头盖骨。博物馆里面展厅的门都没有开，很少有参观者，所以工作人员也懒得开开关关。应我们要求，给我们开了门。展厅很暗，地上都是鸟粪。一般的化石就直接在小破桌子上放着，没有什么保护。高级点的会用玻璃保护起来。

Fairly good museum, about the civilizations of Chad, and the different periods of its history. The staff is awesome and will out do themselves so that you have an awesome experience.

toumai our new ancestor- the cradle of humanity that is one amazing discovery and learning experience about human originI dislike the fact that no so many people knew about TOUMAi our new ancestor

While far from a traditional western type museum, it holds some interesting artifacts on Chad culture. Worth an hour of your time.

If you have nothing to do in N'Djamena and want to take some pictures in a city where outdoor photography is forbidden, this museum is the place to go. The ground floor has a small exhibition of items relating to Chadian history and anthropology. The captions are all in French but one could guess what they represent. Some of the items are generic and not original (e.g., photos of historical events) but there are a few prehistoric tools and masks which are interesting. Little of the exhibits carry elaborate captions or background stories that would help one learn about Chad. One may be entirely lost if one does not have some basic knowledge of Chadian history or culture. The 2nd level has some natural history exhibits and the signature treasure of the museum - skull of the Toumai Man, whom the Chadians believe is the world's earliest human ancestor.On the whole, it was a pleasant visit if one does not expect too much.

The National Museum in Chad is a worthwhile attraction if you have an afternoon free and are in town. The museum has just moved premises to a newer building on the outskirts of town, next to a building that will soon be the national library. Price was 3000 cfa for foreigners, 500 cfa for Chadians. A guide was included (French speaking). Make sure to ask to go upstairs to see the Toumai man exhibit (the world's oldest skeleton?).

Чад- очень интересная и колоритная страна и посещение музея является обязательной частью экскурсионной программы. Много интересных экспонатов связанных с историей Чада. Очень интересные маски и ритуальные украшения.

Ich habe in einigen Ländern Afrikas Museen besucht - ausser im Benin (Geschichtshistorische Museum) sind alle immer irgendwie gleich und ähneln mehr einer Gerümpelkammer als einem Ort der Kultur und deren Gütern. Auch nachvollziehbar, da das Verständnis dafür schlicht und ergriefend nicht vorhanden oder entwickelt ist - das Geld nicht aufgebracht wird und der Sinn dafür nicht vorhanden ist. Schade aber auch eine afrikanische Realität.
