The Museum within the Bushman Art Gallery started off as a private collection of Bushman (now called officially San) artefacts by Mr and Mrs Milke some 30 years ago. The Milkes, fascinated by the San culture, started collecting articles of daily use from the San for their own collection during their travels through Namibia and Botswana. Now the oldest and most beautiful pieces are displayed in the Private Museum in order to preserve them for future generations. Other artefacts equally beautiful and rare from all over the African Continent have found a permanent home in this Private Museum.
