Using a national socio-political and cultural context and new displays, visitors will experience a living history of the culture that has impacted Cape Town and South Africa. Expect interactive exhibitions and to hear first-hand the stories and anecdotes of Bo-Kaap residents past and present, who share their lives and photographs in an exciting and touching way.
