This powerful museum walks visitors through South Africa's apartheid era via randomly assigned "whites" and "non-whites" entrances, artifacts, photography, and film that trace the system's rise and fall.

Know before you go

  • Set aside at least 2-3 hours — the exhibits are dense and emotionally heavy.
  • You'll be randomly assigned a racial classification at the entrance turnstile as part of the experience; it's intentional, not an error.
  • This is genuinely difficult content, so go in prepared for a sobering rather than a casual visit.
