Arusha - National Natural History Museum

National Natural History Museum is housed in the Old German Boma. The Germans built the Boma in 1886 for administration and communication purposes during the colonial era.

Displays at the Natural History Museum feature human evolution through research that has been established at an onsite laboratory. Other findings trace evolution through items discovered at Olduvai Gorge.

The Laetoli Footprints are a major highlight of the museum. The footprints are of varying size set in volcanic gray ash and date back 3,500,000 years ago. The discovery was made in 1978 by Andrew Hill while visiting Mary Leakey's fossil camp.
