The stars are for the excellent museum content only.
Lacklustre staff, absent curator. We went on National museum day and there was nothing done to celebrate the day. We were the only visitors for the whole of the morning. Couldn't receive info on Friends of the museum, even drove back next day trying.
Staff needs to be reminded there's more to keep a museum alive than some outings to schools and a speech competition.
The right staff appointed could make this a golden must visit for tourists.

Lovely content just in need of a good dusting and fresh air. Worth a stop. Liked the tribute to the displaced and learnt ostriches can breathe through their legs. Go visit and support local culture and museum.

One of the best Museums in South Africa. With a very accommodating Museum Secretary Roschida opened up another old House for as on a Saturday afternoon after 2! Very dedicated and helpful staff. We'll marked and categorised items all in English. Exselent!

Well laid out in a beautiful old building. Documents the history of Oudtshoorn and the ostrich industry. Very informative with some really stunning pieces from bygone days. Visited again after three years, sadly there were no lights in some of the exhibits.

Interesting history of the area with really beautiful photos and artifacts of that time. Well maintained too.
