District Six Museum

Really interesting museum with lots of information and some very personalised exhibits. Loved the different recipes hanging on the walls. It would have been nice to have some audios to go along with the exhibits as there was a lot of reading!

An absolutely amazing experience. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with a previous resident. They speak so powerfully about their experience and give you a colourful picture of this vibrant community that was destroyed by apartheid.

Lots of cool stuff, learned a lot about apartheid era Cape Town. Get a guided tour (conducted by ex residents of the districts) if you can, i just missed the timeslot but still got to listen in for 5 mins or so, very entertaining and interesting

A very sobering experience about South African history and how families, a community was removed from District Six because the colour of thier skin.

Beautiful yet jarring history that needs to be seen.

A must when visiting Cape Town.

Small 2 story museum with a few displays and lots of informational photos and stories on the wall relating to the forced relocation of local South Africans in the latter part of the 20th century.

You have to visit the Jewish/ Muslim/ slave and district 6 museum to understand a great part of the history of Cape Town

A time-travel back to the days of Apartheid. The rich culture of the Cape and the people that built it from foundation phase and to those who will forever be remembered that fought for freedom. My daughter was astounded by all that she read and viewed. It's what she had learnt in her history lessons. And it was all that my parents, siblings and I, had lived through.
