Zimbabwe Museum of Human Sciences

The Museum of Human Sciences, formerly known as Queen Victoria Museumi is located in Zimbabwe's capital city Harare and was opened in 1903.Then it was a museum and public library built in tribute to the Queen of England. The museum contains the seven-hundred-year-old Lemba artefact, the Ngoma Lungundu, which some believe to be an African version of the Ark of the Covenant. It is the oldest wooden object ever found in sub-Saharan Africa. The "Zimbabwe Museum of Human Sciences" also houses a library, exhibition galleries, and a model Shona Village, in addition to holding ethnographic and archaeological collections. Wildlife exhibits are on show in public galleries.
