The Cape Heritage Museum
An unedited story of South Africa
The Cape Heritage Museum at The Cape of Good Hope Castle is proud to be a diverse and inclusive museum. It is an unedited story of South Africa. It is home to all people who made the Cape their home, the Khoi, the San, the Dutch, the British, the Malays, the Jews, the Indians, the Xhosas, the French, the Arabs and many others. It is a space to share and celebrate stories of cultural connections and provides evidence that we have more in common than we know. Your own story will become clear and/or more intense after a visit to The Cape Heritage Museum located at the oldest building in South Africa.
Open Times:
Mon to Sat 09h00 to 16h00
A casual walk through the museum provides some evidence that we have more in common with each other than we would ever know.
