musée national du congo (national museum of congo)

:) pas très grand, mais très joli, des fleurs s'entourent, des touristes fréquentent, l'histoire se présente, tout ça me fait très plaisir. brazzaville ,vraiment, c'est une ville de jardin. 里面好像只有一个导游，一般不对外开放好像，我是蹭总统府的车进去的，守卫老黑吓得惊慌失措，哈哈，由于天黑，简单拍了一些外面景色就离开了。博物馆里面是brazza家人的石砌棺木，没有细看。

I an an Italian engineer, living since 1 year in the Republic of Congo, where I work at the construction of a section of National Road from Brazzaville to Pointe Noire. So I'm very often in Brazzaville.A visit to this place is well worth. But we must keep in mind that the name "National Museum of Congo" is quite misleading.In fact this elegant dome shaped construction, built in white marble, is not a "Musée National", but the "Mausolée de Brazza", meaning a monument erected in the memory and celebration of Pierre Savorgnan de Brazza, explorer, the first white man to visit this area and get in touch with the local populations.And, incidentally, he baptized the place after the name of his father's native place (Brazza, a village in the mountains of northern Italy), from where his family originated, before emigrating to France.To his great glory it must be said that, at times when colonizing Africa was done on gunpoint through the brutal force of weapons and massacres of the populations, the then "French Congo" was taken without a single shot, through treaty of friendship with the local King.So, do not expect a Museum, or you'll be deceived.Prepare rather yourself to pay due respect to a Great Man, such as nowadays are getting unfortunately so scarce.....The Republic of Congo wanted the mortal remains of Him and his family to rest with them, as friends, and paid for constructing this beautiful building, to honor them. In Europe, his name is hardly known. An this is a shame on us Europeans.

Worth a brief stop for some interesting masks and tribal artifacts. There are more and better quality items in museums throughout Europe and the USA. An mildly interesting diversion at best.

This is the mausoleum of Pietro de Brazza, who founded the city named after him. He was an enlightened man who believed in negotiating with the local tribes instead of subjugating them. The whole area is pleasant and clean. Upstairs is a history with photos and artefacts, and downstairs are the graves of him and his family: they were exhumed and brought here to be united. Outside is a rather unflattering statue of the man himself.You may need your passport/ID card to gain entry. Highly recommended.

My family and I visited the congo for 6 days.The congo is a very small country compared to the bigger congo which was called Zaire.We enjoyed the museum and eating at the Mandarin restaurant.We were staying at the Potal hotel. You can visit their website potalhotel.com. This hotel is unique with upgraded features. We enjoyed the cleanliness and friendly staff. Its the best hotel in congo.Another great restaurant is the Noura located downtown. They serve imported drinks like heineken and smirnoff.

nel febbraio di questo anno sono stato nel Congo precisamente a Point noir per la durata di 3 mesi non conoscevo questa città descritta come la capitale economica ricca di petrolio gestita da Eni e sono rimasto sorpreso per la bellezza dei luoghi,per le sue meravigliose distese di sabbia bianca e,delle sue foreste e soprattutto dalla simpatica ospitalità delle persone soprattutto dalle donne che sono oltre che belle molto sensuali,ho alloggiato in una casa presa in affitto e l'attrazione notturna sono dei locali tipo discoteche un pò anni 80 dove ci si diverte veramente,quello che mi sento di dire è che è stata un esperienza unica e mi sento di consigliarla a tutti nonostante la cattiva nomea che portano molti paesi dell'Africa centrale.

c'est vraiment vraiment magnifique et je suis fiere de mon pays et de tous les Congolais qui en construit ce musée, je suis aussi beaucoup fiere de mon Président Denis Sassou.N pour ce magnifique Musée.
