As a museum, this place was quite sad indeed. I was unaware that I was in a museum until quite a while later. As stated by many, the live exhibitions are just sad and miserable. What for me was interesting was the art market, with all sorts of artifacts...leather products, bronze, silver, stone, and even the old old beads that were used as currency before coins in West Africa. Bargaining prices is an art that one masters very quickly at this market. Artisans are cheerful and good-humored. I learnt that after the market inside, it is always better to buy your items just outside the fence there. The artisans here know they compete with the inside market, and lower their prices. Actually, by about half. So, look at the wares outside before entering the museum and market.Then come back to buy outside on your way out.

The museum has about six attractions on the premises. One building displays the traditional formal outfits for the major ethnicities found in Niger. Another outlines the history of uranium mining and a third building shows a model of Niger's refinery built in recent years in the East of Niger. In addition there is a zoo and an artisan market. Not to forget the dinosaur bones on display which are impressive.My favourite is the only three in the desert. It stood in the middle of the Sahara, all alone, and had acted as a landmark for travelers for ages. Till it was one day run over by a truck... They put up a bronze three in the desert to replace it while the three itself can be seen at the museum.

I agree with all the reviewers, the zoo is really sad. The animals look well fed but the cages are so small. The hyenas cage was just as big as the Guinea Pigeons cage! The exhibits were really out of date. The one on mining's most recent data was ... From 1984! The artisan workshop was nice. Some cool guys there. I overpaid for a few trinkets but I thought it was my good gesture for a Sunday The architecture of the pavilions is nice though. Really lovely traditional stuff and they are building a traditional village to showcase their architecture. I'd say it is worth visiting if you are in town.

A great part of it was great but parts were just sad. The zoo part of it was sad. All of the animals were living in poor conditions and had only a small living space. The artisan part was great. They had tons to show you and sell to you. The prices for the artwork, is high to begin with but if you know how to bargain, you can get it for a price you like.

Great shopping area for local crafts as artisans work on site.Zoo is sad, poor conditions. One of the hyenas has barely enough room to turn around in her cage. Dinosaurs remains may be under a tin roof, they are still outside and subject to erosion. Exhibitions on nuclear and petrol are sponsored by foreign mining companies and have more financing to update their exhibits. Other pavilions lacked in investments. Right across the Gaweye hotel. You may get harassed at the door for hiring a guide.

I love going to the Museum to see all of the artisans at work. They produce really good leather and metal work. loved the dinosaur bones found in the desert. like other reviewers have said the zoo is quite sad but you do get to see a hippo quite close at hand

Just Ok but many things I saw there the first time. I took some time to take pics for a white bull with giant horns cuz it seamingly not cooperative for fotos. And we stayed quite some time with the hippos.

The best thing about the museum is the chance to see some local artisans at work and talk to them about their work, but the zoo is truly awful to see. Niger has such a wonderful and rich culture, but this will give you little insight into this fascinating country

The museum's grounds are quite interesting (quite big) but everything in there is a bit sad. They have a very poor collection of what could actually be associated with art or history, and the rest is rather strange, with a room for uranium and some sad looking animals... I guess it's still to be visited in you find yourself in Niamey

The Museum is a nice place to see a hippo upclose and one of the few kids related things to do in town. However, the animals live in awful conditions and that is sad.
