  Very wonderful place ... Musée National Boubou Hama is the national museum of Niger, located in Niamey. It was founded in 1959 as Musée National du Niger. Its first conservator, Pablo Toucet, designed the concept of the museum, according to which it was part of the Culture Valley of Niamey, proposed by Boubou Hama. Adjacent to the museum, also part of the Valley, are the Franco-Nigerien Cultural Center and the Center of Linguistic and Historical Studies by Oral Tradition. The museum is located in a park, it consists of a cultural and a scientific section and a zoo. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions.

  When it comes to a place like this museum/zoo, you have to look at in two ways. If I was to compare it to a museum/zoo in the United States or Europe I'd give it two stars tops. There really wasn't much to the museum part but the stuff they did have was interesting. Even though I don't speak French I still really appreciate the display on traditional garb, the scale model of the oil refinery, and the display on uranium mining (I didn't realize Niger was the fourth largest producer in the world...and the attendant in the room was very enthusiastic explaining it all to me even though I couldn't understand a word he was saying). If you compared this museum to most other museums I've seen in Africa it would get a high 4, maybe 5. The dinosaur display was incredible! Never in the US or Europe would you be allowed that close to the actual bones. That alone is worth the entrance fee. The zoo was very sad and depressing. The animals are in way too small of cages in just concrete floors. They also didn't have anything to entertain themselves with. They just laid there bored out of their minds or just extremely agitated. I'm sure they are doing the best they can with what they have but still very sad.

  Not much to see here. There is however an artisan market with locally made leather items, silver jewelry/decor and batik fabrics on sale. A bit of haggling is necessary because the prices are usually inflated for tourist

  Quite a good selection of birds and animals. Also local artefacts and stuff. The animals, particularly the lions, need more proper care as it looks beyond the capabilities of the keepers.
