District Six Museum

Worth a detourCape Town, South Africa

I’m not sure this museum is curated in the best way for impact

What it is

Memory museum in a former Methodist mission church on Buitenkant Street, commemorating the multiracial District Six community and the 60,000+ people forcibly removed to the Cape Flats under apartheid’s Group Areas Act.

Also on the block, if you have time
