District Six Museum
Delve into the history of the apartheid at District Six Museum, a display about an area of Cape Town declared a white-only neighborhood in the 1960s. Founded in 1994, the museum narrates the story of those who were forced out of the district through various items, photos, and videos.

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.
