The National Museum of Chad in N'Djamena, established in 1962, showcases the country’s history and diverse cultural heritage through well-curated exhibits of prehistoric tools, fossils, archaeological discoveries, traditional crafts, musical instruments, and art from various Chadian communities.

Highlights include ancient stone tools from the region’s early inhabitants, artifacts associated with the Boulala and Babalia peoples, replicas of early cave art, and the notable skull of Toumai Man, regarded as one of the earliest human ancestors.

Despite losing many objects to looting during conflicts, the museum remains a cornerstone for understanding Chad's past, reflecting both resilience and creativity, and provides a serene environment for visitors to explore the nation’s unfolding story from ancient times to the present day.
