Peace Memorial Museum
Domed hexagonal hall of exhibits tracing the island's role as gateway for nineteenth-century expeditions into Africa.
This guide to the Peace Memorial Museum in Zanzibar City asks how you prove a corpse carried a thousand miles through the African bush is really the famous explorer everyone assumes is already lost. It follows David Livingstone's death in a village called Chitambo in eighteen seventy-three, the companions who buried his heart beneath a tree and embalmed his body for the eight-month journey to the coast, and Jacob Wainwright, the one carrier who could read and write English. Stand in front of the glass in this whitewashed, domed hall and you are looking at the medical case that traveled with him.
