Could've easily spent the whole day here - make sure to pace yourself. Do the permanent exhibitions first so you'll have more context for the temporary ones when you get to them.

Arif

If you want to learn about South Africa , this museum is a must visit place.

Haaris Zafar

A linear experience of apartheid history in Southern Africa. In the road to Joburg ramp of mirrors visitors from around world see themselves embodied as locals and thus part of the rich history.

Scott Bressler

Excellent permanent exhibit and even better temporary exhibit on Mandela . Make sure to walk through Mandela exhibit in order from birth to death. It’s confusing the other way. Maybe do Mandela second.

I mean it is a magnificent museum and a total history of the country between 1947-1994. This is the top of the list for Johannesburg.

Hännelore Chavier

Takes 2 hours at least to watch all videos and documental. Worth it, nice guys from the cafeteria friendly and polite.

Yarn Lam

Very good museum about the history of apartheid in SA. Should spend half a day here to read thoroughly and watch the interviews.

The Apartheid Museum is an important learning tool for all those who live in or are even just visiting South Africa . Learn more about our country 's complex history.

Patrick Ward

Excellent museum even though it tells of a sad history

Heidi Brandow

Allow a few hours to take in this in. Hard to believe the Mandela exhibit is temporary, would recommend seeing it before it is replaced.

Aisea Laungaue

Take your time with this place. So many stories that make up the history of this wonderful country . Confronting but altogether enlightening.

@kingmo

A must-see for visitors. Takes at least 3hours to get through it - actually more. Nice gift shop .

Very impressive museum . You get a white or black ticket at the entrance.

It's very emotional, full of great Mandela 's works. Hope this never happens again anywhere else

Always fascinating history.

Jacob Mulligan

Very disappointed in this museum , it does a terrible job telling the story of South Africa 's founding. The museum completely omits the truth and reconciliation commission.

Rami Tamimi

Nice but really sad history .

Ellen Pleysier

Nicely presented

Would be nice if there was a tour guide

A must see

Natasha No

O objetivo do museu é contar a história do apartheid e prestar tributo aos grandes líderes políticos negros e brancos que contribuíram para a instauração da democracia no país .

Carlos Reis

Un excellent musée . Pour ne jamais oublier des mauvais moments de l'histoire. Mais aussi de comment il est possible de corriger sans violence le passée.

Eduardo Clemente

Muito Interessante e detalhado, mas pouco interativo. Utiliza audiovisual com explicações em longos textos escritos em placas . A sensação é de se estar lendo um livro.

Özgür Öğütcen

Tarihi kazananlar yazar. Burası da kazananlarin yaptığı müze . Yaşadıklarını ifade etmiş insanlar. Tüylerim diken diken oldu. Irkçılık insanlık için utançtir.

François Laroche

Certainement l'un des musées les plus chargé en émotion du monde. A faire absolument .

Павел Б.

Лично мне музей не понравился. Какой-то он однотипный в каждом зале.

kg11

アパルトヘイト時代の歴史資料を保管、展示 してある博物館 。南アフリカの歴史を知ることが出来る。つい10年ほど前まで白人と黒人の差別化を国家として行っていたという事実に色々と考えさせられた思い出深い場所・・・

Luis Pitura

Excelente muestra

Eduardo Hoffmann

Vale a pena conferir

Apartheid rejimi bitmiş ama kölelik hâlâ devam ediyor Afrika'da. Beyaz işçi yok, siyahlar hâlâ fakir ve işsiz.
