    A nice place to visit if you're in the area. There's some cool stuff for kids being set up, like mini indoor excavations (available on the third Saturday of every month). Includes examples of evolutionary prehistoric artefacts. This includes mostly South African stuff like rock art, pottery and beads. There are also places which present information in the form of movies. Can be real educational for any wishing to learn more about South African prehistory.

    My trip to this Museum was, educational, informative and soul filling. In a nut shell it was very rewarding to visit and stand in a place that had so much Black history and artifacts representing the origin of human kind. Loved it

    Informative and interesting museum that focuses on San (Bushmen) culture and early man in southern Africa. Highly recommend!
