Namibia’s Heritage Landscape E- Cultural Mapping
Through a Heritage Hunt poster campaign, distribution of postcards,
and a school competition, run by the Museums Association of Namibia,

also assist the Museums Association of Namibia and Regional Councils
to identify sites that might be developed as museums. Some participants
in the school essay competition sent drawings.
