There is now a museum in the Rhenish mission church, which was been inaugurated in 1895, May 8th, the previous church which was washed away by the river Aub in 1890. In addition to religious memorabilia the museum contains a display about Nama history and culture with a detailed display of local plants and their traditional uses by the Nama community. The garden around the museum contains several of the plants that feature in the exhibition and a scale model of a traditional Nama hut

Don't make a detour for Keetmanshoop or the local museum but when you are in the vicinity, please go there. Keetmanshoop is as a village nothing special but with no villages or towns in big radius around it, it does have something special. The people are very friendly and the museum gives a lovely overview of the city's history. It is clearly based on volunteer input and design but that is maybe what it makes it lovely.
