Fodor's Expert Review Owela Display Centre

With displays on everything from archaeology to natural history to ethnology, this rather musty but endearing museum makes up in information (on densely formatted placards) for what it lacks in style; it's part of the larger National Museum of Namibia next door. The exhibit on the San, including refreshingly critical commentary on the bushman as a constructed concept, and a discussion on the exploitation of that concept, is worth noting. The Independence Museum located just down the road in the enormous flashy building, contains more exhibits on the history of Namibia and the struggle for independence; and it has a decent restaurant on the top floor with a great view of the city.
