Unique in its sobering stories, the Apartheid museum offers visitors valuable, one-of-a-kind insight into a dark, oppressive period in South Africa. A comprehensive documentation of the rise and fall of the Apartheid regime, the museum is a brilliant architectural wonder, and showcases provocative film footage, photographs, text panels and artefacts that vividly illustrate the events and stories of those who lived through the tyranny.

Part of the Gold Reef City Complex, the museum was constructed in 2001, and continues to serve as a beacon of hope for all South Africans working towards a brighter and freer future. A good starting point for all keen on exploring the history of 20th-century South Africa, the museum is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the racial segregation that occurred during apartheid, a time when individuals were separated based on completely arbitrary factors such as the size of their lips and the colour of their eyes.
