The Apartheid Museum 's genesis

The Apartheid Museum opened in 2001 and is acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with 20 th century South Africa , at the heart of which is the apartheid story.

In 1995 the South African government set up a process for the granting of casino licenses, establishing an agency to do this called the Gambling Board. The bid documents stipulated that bidders should demonstrate how they would attract tourism and thereby grow the economy and stimulate job creation.

A consortium, called Akani Egoli, put in a bid that included the commitment to building a museum. Their bid was successful, the Gold Reef City casino was built and an adjacent piece of land given for the construction of a museum.

The Apartheid Museum
The Pillars of the Constitution

Between 1994 and 1996 South Africa's first fully democratic parliament, 
sitting as the Constitutional Assembly, drew up South Africa's new 
constitution. It contains guarantees of equality more extensive than 
anywhere else in the world. At its heart are seven fundamental values 
which are represented by the pillars in the first courtyard visitors encounter 
on arrival at the museum: democracy, equality, reconciliation, diversity, 
responsibility, respect and freedom.


Opening Hours
Tue - Sun, 10h00 - 17h00
The Museum is closed on Mondays, Good Friday and Christmas Day.

The 22 individual exhibition areas contain film footage, photographs, text panels and artifacts illustrating the events
and human stories that are part of the epic saga, known as apartheid.
