The musuem shows the history of an area of Cape Town that is now long gone.
District Six is a rather unexciting name for an area where a great diversity of people lived, mainly immigrants that could not afford any better.
However, everyone seemed to have got on well with each other as shown in many photographs taken of the people and houses during the years prior to the relocation of the inhabitants and the entire area being destroyed by the authorities of the day.
There's a large map on the floor in the main hall and the names of the people who lived at each property written in by hand.
There are two floors of exhibits and photos. The musuem is well designed and easily located close to the city centre just around the corner of the town hall.

This gives a very good insight into past times that should never have happened. At the shop there you can buy a book about District 6 called Noor's story and Noor runs it and will sign the book for you.

This was a small museum, but full of fascinating information about a very terrible situation in Cape Town when people were removed from their neighborhoods because of color. Well worth the visit!

The museum is on the hop-on and hop-off bus route. It is a colourful, creative and interactive look at the sad history of a community wiped out by apartheid. Recommended.
