It really does highlight the history of apartheid in South Africa but unlike other places it does it through the eyes of the very people who experienced the worst of apartheid first hand. It could of had some more video content as most of the content was written in English and my Germany friend found it hard to follow sometimes.

I wish I would have gotten the guided tour it would have been a much more enriching experience. I did learn a lot about the plight of the people there and the damage/destruction this caused the community. This is one among many sites that remind us of our past failures.

When you enter and pay, the man does tell you the general flow that people take to view the museum, but i found that the entire layout was very random, making it... More

It's a small museum but very informative. Well worth a visit. Personally, I felt that they'd tried to squeeze in too much information into a small space, and found it heavy going in places, but nevertheless, still worth the visit.

A friend recommended that we visit the museum...a good stop on a rainy day. Though it was interesting, there was a lot of information to process for a tourist. I liked that the museum is a community project...more of a venue for the people who lived through apartheid to tell their story, a place where their kids and grandkids could... More
