Per COM:FOP#Mozambique: no evidence that the building (from 1911) and the sculptures (newer) are in the public domain. Eleassar (t/p) 21:07, 1 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment The initial building was projected in 1930, and built in 1931, comissioned by the Municipality of Lourenço Marques for a school. The museum was housed there in 1932, and in 1940 a major campaign by architect António Rosas gave it the actual shape (initially was a V shaped building). I could not find the original architect of the building, however.

If it is deleted the following pictures should go as well:
