Independence Memorial Museum
A history museum in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia.
The Independence Memorial Museum is a history museum in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia. It focuses on the anti-colonial resistance and the national liberation movement of Namibia.
The museum is located on Robert Mugabe Avenue and was designed and built by Mansudae Overseas Projects, a North Korean firm. It is one of four major public works Mansudae constructed in Namibia, the other three being Heroes' Acre, Okahandja Military Museum and a new State House.
The museum's appearance has been likened to that of a potjie, as well as a coffee pot and a molar tooth. It is flanked by two statues: a statue of Namibia's first president, Sam Nujoma, and the Genocide Memorial, both also built by Mansudae.
