The Ncome Museum and Munument Complex forms part of the Ncome-blood River Herutage site and is situated on the eastern side of the Blood River Battlefield.

The arcitecture of the buildingreflects the shape of the famous Zulu war horns. Aseries of shields displayed along the oo=ter wall indicate the cattle hide colouring that differentiate the various Zulu regiments. The museum provides a general insight into the Zulu culture and offers, according to historical research, its own interpretation of the Battle of Blood River.

The older Blood River Monument and Museum Complexsituated to the west of the battlefield differs on some facts about the battle between the Zulus and the Voortrekkers that took place in 1838
