Values

We are an arena of national identity.

NMMZ has a national role in presenting the cultural and natural heritage of Zimbabwe to many publics. Cultural identities are developed, strengthened and celebrated at museums and sites. The NMMZ plays a vital role in forming and strengthening that national identity.

We take care of the heritage that embodies that national identity.

This includes tangible and intangible heritage (spiritual and ritual aspects). NMMZ identifies, documents and conserves the archaeological sites and historic monuments of Zimbabwe. This involves regular annual cycles of work and special projects. NMMZ is also the custodian of the nation’s collections and undertakes regular audits and cycles of conservation.

NMMZ has an establishment of 40 curators whose role it is to undertake research on the collections and monuments and to make that research accessible to a variety of publics. During the period of the new plan a renaissance in publications is planned aimed at national and international audiences so that the organization is firmly positioned as an international research institution.
