National Museum of Namibia
Alte Feste, Windhoek's oldest surviving building, dates from 1890-92, and originally served as the headquarters of the Schutztruppe, which arrived in 1889 under the command of Major Curt von François. Today it houses the historical section of the National Museum of Namibia, which contains memorabilia and photos from the colonial period as well as indigenous artefacts.

Trans-Namib Transport Museum
Upstairs in Windhoek's beautiful old Cape Dutch-style train station is the small but worthwhile Trans-Namib Transport Museum, which outlines Namibian transport history, particularly that of the railway.
