Inaugurated in 1994, the museum's initial aim was to restore the memory of a Cape Town neighborhood that had been wiped off the map.

Inaugurated in 1994, the District Six Museum's initial objective was to restore the memory of this wiped-out district, to carry out a real search for the families who had lived there 40 years earlier, in order to advance the process of house restitution. The families did not know what had become of their neighbours at the time, as many went into exile during the hardening of apartheid. So this small museum contains crumbs of what the neighbourhood was like. On a map on the wall, the inhabitants have marked the location of their old house.

Visite intéressante
Plongée dans une histoire finalement récente. Beaucoup d'objets et de témoignages. Peut être un manque de clarté pour être plus réellement touché.
Un peu en dessous de ce que j'attendais.

J'adore ce petit musee situe dans une ancienne eglise. le musee retrace l'histoire du district six et surtout celle de ses habitants. D'une simplicite tres touchante et emouvante.

Musée installé dans une ancienne église, de nombreux objets et souvenirs des habitants y ont été regroupés. Pour moi c'est un lieu à faire absolument pour voir les effets de l'Apartheid.
