built in 1963 and King George V's car can be viewed here. Visitors

3.6-million-year-old hominid footprint. The colonial years and
anti-colonial struggle can be seen through a display of photos,
documents and objects, while the History Gallery presents the Kilwa
period (9th - 15th century), the English and German colonial
period, the slave trade, local rebellions, and Independence.
Information & Facts
Address
Language
Swahili and English are the official languages. Several
indigenous languages are also spoken.
Money
The official unit of currency is the Tanzanian shilling (TZS),
divided into 100 cents. The tourism industry prices everything in
US Dollars and they are the preferred unit of currency. Major
currencies can be exchanged in the larger towns. Foreign exchange
bureaux in the main towns usually offer a better rate on travellers
cheques than do the banks. ATMs are available in major cities only.
Major lodges, some hotels and travel agents in urban areas accept
credit cards, but these should not be relied on and can incur a 10%
surcharge.
