Visit Museum Africa - Johannesburg

Once again the culturalists among us get to come out and play, show hell well studied we are and identify ourselves as an alumni of note. Someone whose knowledge, intellect and wit is ever mounting. Never to be questioned or challenged. This is just another chance for us to learn something new. The Museum Africa is located at the Newtown Cultural Precinct, the museum as you can imagine holds a variety of interesting exhibits , most of which pertain to the history of Africa, leading up to what we know today. Museum Africa 121 Bree St | Newtown, Johannesburg 2113, South Africa. This multi-media museum includes an audio/visual display of Nelson Mandela’s treason trial.

The museum provides an honest and even self-critical look at some of the problems South Africa has faced. The museum’s main focus is on the culture of the indigenous people, I would be failing you greatly if I failed to mention is the beautiful display of artworks, containing Pre-Raphaelite and Impressionist paintings, even an impression of ‘the Anglo-Boer War’. Many South African artists are presented. Set aside a good couple of hours for your visit as there are loads of Geological specimens, prints, photos and numerous other objects of interest waiting to seize your attention and suck you in.
