Musée National du Niger

The National Museum of Niger in Niamey, sometimes called the Boubou Hama museum, is an expansive park-museum combining ethnographic galleries, a small zoo, craft workshops and pavilions of vernacular architecture. Founded in 1959, it displays regional dress, weaponry and finds, and famously houses dinosaur skeletons and remains of the Tree of Ténéré. Artisans work on-site in leather, silver and weaving. The blend of natural history, culture and craft makes it a top attraction in the capital.
