Great place to start your visit to Tanga. Although under renovation, the team did a great job to share te history of the holding, that of Tanga and Tanzania in General.The view of the port and sea is amazing and not far from the fish market (best time is around 4pm to visit the fish market).Kudos to the team here.

Museum currently under renovation (as of 21st April 2018) however, you will find very friendly staff who are more than willing to take you around and give you brief history of the place.

Is a nice place with a lot of historical objects, a full history of introduction of Sisal in Tanganyika, is a must visit place especially for the local people who are from Tanga.

A good place to learn about the horrific German colonialism on the Tanzanian people. A past most Tanzanian would like to leave behind. Hence the lack of care and maintenance of the building.

Sparse museum mostly consisting of a few old pictures on the walls. However, the curator really makes a visit worth it. He is very well spoken and knowledgeable and spends most of the tour explaining the interesting history of Tanga. The fee is 10,000 tzs per person and the tour takes about an hour.

If you are interested in the colonial history of Tanga and Tanzania, this is a good place to visit. The guides at the museum are also more than happy to show other parts of the town (and other day trips). A good place to start in Tanga and to kickstart the rest if your time in Tanga.

Great museum! Beautiful building located on Independence Avenue. Joel, the Head Curator and his amazing staff provided us with a tour of the museum and the surrounding area. This place is your go-to if you want to learn about the culture and history of Tanga city/region!

The truth is that it is a waste of time. It is very poorly maintained. With a very poor and uneducative sample. It is extremely expensive and mediocre. It is much better museum to go for a walk and if necessary read the story of the armchair in Wikipedia
