Museum of the Island of Mozambique

The Museum of the Island of Mozambique was established in 2004, combining three existing museums, including the Maritime Museum, which was established in 1972, located on the Palace of São Paulo. On permanent display there are several objects recovered during underwater surveys conducted in the 60s in several shipwrecks off the coast of Nampula.

After its re-opening in 2009, the collection at the permanent exhibition of the Maritime Museum has also been integrated with some underwater archaeological finds.
