Experience a rare collection of stone and wooden carvings and sculptures by the late Jonathan Matimba (1940-2013), one of the renowned early Shona Sculptors from Nyatate in Nyanga North. Matimba had a passion for protecting animals and the environment, and was one of the few sculptors who wrote a story about each work of art. He is one of the most famous and influential Shona stone and wood carvers of the 1950s and ‘60s.  The collection is housed in a building known as Rhodes Stables, built in 1897. The museum also contains a curated display of ancient manuscripts, photographs and other exhibits of interest relating to Nyanga and persons and events connected with its history and development. You can view memorabilia depicting the life and times of early Zimbabwe, from the Stone Age to modern times together with the art, culture and traditions of this beautiful area. Take refreshments and visit the shop for local crafts. Located at the Museum situated next to the historic Rhodes Nyanga Hotel, in the Nyanga National Park.
