Museum are the best way to experience history and culture. I recommend you always make it a annual stop to show the children the art and collection of historical items. It's amazing how things once was and how progressive thinking as made us forget the pioneers of our lands development. Good site to visit

  • Xolani Khumalo

Everyone that lives in Durban should at least try it once in their life. It's small but aesthetically pleasing and keeps amazing photos of our city. It's a conservation of history that you instantly identify.

  • Percy Mkhwebane

It takes a particular angle but none the less interesting. It would be interesting to just go through the Zulu kings as far back as they can but could not get that info

  • Fabio Teixeira

It's a free museum, and perhaps that explains why it has an abandoned look and feel. There's potential but no real logic on the exhibits.
