A new chapter in heritage tourism and outdoor conferencing has opened following the launch of the Skydeck Gazebo at the Museum of African Liberation in Harare this Friday.
Nestled on top of the Liberation City hill, the newly launched Skydeck Gazebo offers a panoramic view of the city of Harare.
It also does not just provide beautiful scenery but a space designed for nature-based conferencing and reflection.
The facility is part of the growing vision for the Museum of African Liberation to serve as more than a traditional exhibition space.
“It’s a sky deck sunset gazebo where you can see the whole of Harare from the top of the hill of the Liberation City. The museum is not an aesthetic home of dead artefacts, it’s a living organism where people can come, celebrate, and appreciate this city called Harare, this country called Zimbabwe, and this beautiful continent called Africa.
“We have launched this facility today, and we are very certain that it will give the people of Harare alternative conferencing and recreational facilities which are nature-based. Some like to call it bush conferencing. You don’t need air conditioning,” said the Chief Executive Officer of the Museum of African Liberation, Ambassador Kwame Muzawazi.
Ambassador Muzawazi also commended President Emmerson Mnangagwa for spearheading the museum initiative as a tribute to African heritage and progress.
As the Museum continues to grow, the Skydeck becomes another reminder of how African memory and innovation can blend, creating spaces that are not just visited but lived.
