Apartheid Museum, Johannesburg, South Africa The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledge as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with the apartheid story.

O museu é excelente e bem completo. Conta toda a história do apartheid. Não tem audioguia, então acredito que vale a pena contratar uma visita guiada.

I booked through Mount Zion Tours and didn't realize until our professional guide showed up at the house were staying in that it was a personal tour, just me and my wife! Fortunately our guide was very informative and helpful and after getting us there and getting the tickets he said we could do the visit on our own and at our own pace and he'd just wait for us! So we met up with him again in the cafe after a few hours of self-guiding around the exhibits, which suited us just fine. So although it was rather expensive it worked out well for us. But if you want to save some money, just get there by Uber, buy your own admission tickets, and take yourself around--it is all well labelled and explained. It is defintiely a valuable thing to fo when visiting Johannesburg.

The Apartheid Museum is very interesting, it shows the dark sides of apartheid in a neutral but still shocking way. The history from the beginning to the end. We took the tour with native South Africans who had immigrated to the states at a young age, and they were devastated to see the mayhem that had left.
The museum is factual and worth a visit, its a must.-
