The Living Museum of the Damara close to Twyfelfontein is the first traditional Damara project in Namibia and the only one of its kind. The possibility to experience the traditional Damara culture in this form exists nowhere else in Namibia or in the world. Their original culture was a mixture of an archaic hunter-gatherer culture and herders of cattle, goats and sheep.

Within the framework of the Living Museum of the Damara an attempt was made to reconstruct the ‚lost culture’ of the Damara. Here the visitors have the unique opportunity to get to know the fascinating traditional culture of the Damara, thus contributing to the preservation of the culture as well as to a regular income for the Damara community that built the museum.

Das Lebende Museum der Damara in der Nähe von Twyfelfontein ist das erste traditionelle Damara - Projekt in Namibia und das Einzige seiner Art. Nirgendwo anders hat man die Möglichkeit in dieser Form etwas über die traditionelle Kultur der Damara zu erfahren. Ihre ursprüngliche jahrhundertalte Kultur war eine Mischung von archaischer Jäger- und Sammlerkultur und der Viehzucht von Rindern, Ziegen und Schafen.

Die Besucher haben dort die einzigartige Möglichkeit, die faszinierende traditionelle Kultur der Damara kennen zulernen um so einerseits zu deren Erhalt beizutragen und andererseits der Community der Damara die das Lebende Museum aufbauten zu einem geregelten Einkommen zu verhelfen.
