At the time of the Chadian National Museum's establishment, it had four rooms for palaeontology, prehistory, protohistory, archives, folk arts, crafts and traditions.

[2] Initiated in 1996 under the aegis of the National Research Support Center (current CNRD), a paleontology room was opened there in 1999 in connection with the prestigious discoveries of fossils made in the Djurab Desert.

[3] The museum mainly brings together collections relating to popular arts and traditions, archaeology, history, paleontology and Islamic heritage.

A room dedicated to paleoanthropology allows you to observe casts of Tchadanthropus uxoris, d'Abel (Australopithecus bahrelghazali) and Toumaï (Sahelanthropus tchadensis) fossils.

These items were discovered at the Bouta-Kabira sanctuary including human masks, bronze objects and bone tools.
