Named after the country's first prime minister, it was founded in the 1960s and remained open until the Central African Republic Civil War.

Situated in the Rue du Languedoc region of Bangui, Central African Republic, the Boganda National Museum was founded in 1964[1] and opened in 1966.

[1] It has been closed to the public since 2013–14, however, due to the Central African Republic Civil War, leading to the building being ransacked during the period.

[3] The museum holds artifacts which cover the culture and ethnography of the Central African Republic and hosts items from all 16 provinces of the country.

The culture is documented through pottery, historic coins, traditional African masks and musical instruments,[1] as well as weapons, hunting tools and religious objects.
