Overview
This tour provides a deep dive into the history of South Africa during the turbulent years of the apartheid era. Through a series of 22 exhibition areas, visitors experience the narrative of segregation and oppression that dominated the country until the democratic transition in 1994. The exhibits, curated by a multi-disciplinary team of historians and filmmakers, utilize provocative film footage, photographs, and artifacts to tell the human stories of the struggle for freedom. The journey culminates in the exploration of the country’s liberation and the landmark election of Nelson Mandela as the first Black president of a democratic South Africa.
