'''Zambia Unveiled: 60 Years of a Nation''' was a commemorative exhibition staged by the [[National Archives of Zambia]] in [[Lusaka]] as part of the country’s [[Zambia@60|Diamond Jubilee]] observances. Opened on {{start date|2024|10|29|df=y}} and running through {{end date|2024|12|31|df=y}}, the display explored Zambia’s political history, cultural heritage, and social and economic development since independence in 1964.

== Background ==
The exhibition formed part of the national Zambia@60 programme marking six decades of sovereignty. Through a historical lens, it highlighted the independence movement, state formation, constitutional change, and the evolution of public institutions, alongside community life, arts, and education.

== Exhibition ==
"Zambia Unveiled" presented curated archival materials drawn from the National Archives’ holdings, including photographs, government records, posters, newspapers, and multimedia features. The installation aimed to contextualise key events and figures while providing an accessible overview for general audiences and learners. Admission was free to the public for the duration of the run.

== Significance ==
The exhibition functioned as both an educational resource and a platform for civic reflection, encouraging visitors to consider continuity and change in Zambia’s post-independence trajectory. By foregrounding primary sources, it supported teaching, research, and public engagement with the archival record.
