For the late Victorians, Dr David Livingstone (1813-1873) was one of the great heroes of their era. The “greatest man of his generation”, Florence Nightingale called him.
He was a household name, recognised as a courageous explorer of Africa, a tireless missionary and a champion of the fight against slavery. Today he is widely remembered.
The Livingstone Museum is one of a kind in this area. It contains the most comprehensive memorabilia of Dr David Livingstone, including authentic maps and diaries, and covers the history of the region from the formation right up to the present day.
The Museum also contains Anthropological, Natural History and African Culture sections.
