Olduvai Gorge Museum

The Olduvai Gorge Museum, located in Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area, was founded by Mary Leakey to showcase paleoanthropological artifacts. Managed by the Tanzanian government, it features exhibits on the Olduvai Gorge and Laetoli fossil sites, including a cast of the famous fossilized footprints. A room highlights the Leakey family’s groundbreaking work. Staff conduct orientation presentations, and the site includes a visitor centre, theatre, restaurant, and guided tours to nearby landmarks.
