Apart from the usual displays expected at such facilities, Museu De Historia Natural de Maputo exhibits some rather spooky dioramas with taxidermy specimens, as well as a collection of bleached elephant fetuses. The displays occupy a charming colonial building, originally built for a school but turned into a museum in 1933. The museum also features a small ethnology exhibit.

Housed in a beautiful Portugese rococo style building, the museum's main exhibition is one of stuffed animals. Especially animals of prey like lions and leopards are often depicted in bloody scenes...

Museum of Natural History, located in the centre of Maputo city easily accessible. It shows most wildlife in Mozambique(including some African countries) with a section with crafts from old times in Mozambique. Really worth visiting. The entrance fee is reasonable.
