The museum is named after the former General Manager of Orapa, Letlhakane and Damtshaa Mines, the late Dr Adrian Gale who initiated the Orapa Today, Boteti Tomorrow (OTBT) programme under which the museum falls. The OTBT programme is geared towards assuring that Orapa is a great place to live and work. It is also focused on building a sustainable alternative economy for the Boteti Sub District beyond mining.
