HISTORY
The Museum of Dogs was founded on 27 July 2024 with a simple mission: to honour dogs. Located in a 17th-century Dutch cottage – one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town – the museum uses art, music and personal stories to celebrates the many ways dogs have shaped human lives. A visit takes about an hour, with a gift shop to explore, a spot to buy coffee or wine, and stunning views of Table Mountain to enjoy
