Opened on November 1, 2024, Namibia’s first maritime museum, the NMM, stands as one of Africa’s largest. Located in the historic Lüderitz Old Power Station, the 2,000-square-meter space showcases Namibia’s rich maritime heritage through ancient watercraft, fossils, maps, shark skeletons, antiques, and art. The museum also houses a vast library and unique treasures highlighting the region’s marine history. Upcoming upgrades aim to elevate the visitor experience with new features and enhanced facilities, ensuring the museum remains a dynamic hub for education and cultural preservation. This progressive step promises to solidify NMM’s role in celebrating Namibia’s maritime legacy.
