Apartheid Museum Johannesburg

The Apartheid Museum is a South African museum illustrating apartheid and the 20th-century history of South Africa, located in Johannesburg. Opened in 2001, the museum uses film, text, audio, and artefacts to tell the story of the rise and fall of apartheid - the racial segregation system that governed South Africa from 1948 to 1994. It is widely considered one of the most important museums in Africa and has become a mandatory pilgrimage for visitors to Johannesburg and a key destination for South African schoolchildren learning their country's recent history.
