Nomibia's Independence Memorial Museum

Museum was built to commemorate nimibia's fight for independence from a partide south africa, which it achieved in 19 90. For many of the visitors i spoke with, the museum feels like a huge achievement. But for a museum that commemorates throwing off the chains of colonialism and forging a new era of self determination, it as one pretty strange feature,. It wasn't designed by a namibian architect. It wasn't even designed by an african architect. Do you know who made this museum? I have no idea. It was north korea. Is it good to no, pacily, i wont forget that.
