THE APARTHEID MUSEUM


The Apartheid Museum documents the rise and fall of apartheid and powerfully captures the human stories of this recent history through film footage, photographs, text panels and artifacts.

A thought provoking experience, starting with the entrance where each individual is given either a "white" or "non-white" ticket and is then required to walk through their respective entrances. Blown-up identity cards and historical text guide each individual through, to meet again outside, where they may view the rest of the museum together.

Some deep (and tough) questions came up with my thirteen year old daughter, Chenoa, today.
