For a closer look at Namibia's historic path to late independence in 1990, visit the Independence Memorial Museum housed inside an imposing modernist building in Windhoek's former colonial heart. The museum was designed by a North Korean construction company, involved in multiple construction projects across Africa, hence the socialist aesthetic. The top floor panoramic restaurant is worth a pit stop.

Set in old Dutch warehouses by the Sunda Kelapa harbour, the Maritime Museum tells the story of Indonesia’s long history with the sea. Inside are model ships, navigation tools, maps, and photos that trace the country’s seafaring past. The building itself is worth a look too — its thick walls and timber beams date back to the 17th century.
