A museum, part of which is devoted to the history of KwaZulu-Natal and another to that of the city.

The oldest public building in the CBD has a busy past. Damaged during the Anglo-Zulu war of 1879, then by the South African wars, then the Bambatha rebellion... More recently, it was used as a recruitment centre. Here, under apartheid, Africans were allowed or not to enter the city, and it is also here that a judge asked a young activist named Gandhi to leave the room because he was wearing a turban. One part of the museum is dedicated to the history of KwaZulu-Natal, another to the history of the city.

Situé dans le même pâté de maisons que l'hôtel de ville. Entrée gratuite, pas d'hésitation ! Ce n'est ni très moderne ni très interactif, mais ce musée à l'ancienne reste instructif. La reconstitution du temps passé (une pharmacie, notamment) ne manque pas de charme. Une expo temporaire également en novembre 2016 sur Nathaniel Nakaza.
