Interesting place to learn about the old history of Cape town. Nice recipis on wall from the older families that stayed there. A real museum to share all the history around district six and occupants.
On the route of the hop on hop off bus route.
You can visit here and do not go past the Castle on yor way back to the main terminal at the Waterfront.

Took me back to my childhood days, very sad to walk down memory lane. Staff are well informed. Every corner or picture brings out the true reflection of years gone by, of District six. Well positioned.

If you want to really learn and understand the history and see it first hand this is the place to go. The guide who was a resident obviously had the knowledge and was very articulate and gave a first hand history lesson. After the tour and viewing make sure to take the time to look around on your own. Some amazing artifacts. Recommended for all ages

Highly educational museum. I loved the tour with Mr. Brown, who lived in District 6 when he was younger. He really explained how living in District 6 was like living with a huge family. I enjoyed all the pictures and the tiny room in the museum. This is a must do in Cape Town.

Enjoyed the museum especially given how sad the topic is and why it came about -they laid it out in an easy to digest manor that wasn't too overwhelming emotionally. A great place to take kids also, like I did. I feel kids need to learn about important topics like how humans treated each other and how we have evolved to be better, more compassionate and more accepting. I especially liked chatting to a young man called Dean. He worked at the museum and was so informative.

A really great museum created for the people of District Six. You have a choice of a guide or unguided tour, we took the guided tour and it was great to listen to the actual experiences from someone who lived in the area before 60,000 of them were forcibly evicted. Lots to think about! There is A LOT of information here.

Historical house about Cape Town's District 6, a lot to learn. Guides are people who stayed in district six and have witnessed everything that happened there. They are very informative and it clearly shows that they know exactly what they are talking about, like a book writer narrating their story.

Amazing place with a lot of history. It is a small place but all the history around the district 6 is there. It takes less than an hour and a bit a curiosity to discover this place

What an amazing small intimate historical cape coloured place. We took our mom there, and was amazed at her trip down memory lane. She made the pictures come alive.

Went through the whole process of going through the homecoming centre with a group from church. The museum is filled with just so much rich history that has been donated by the community. It is an absolutely beautiful place and I would recommend it to anybody as the experience is very enlightening.

Stunning exhibition. Tour guide was very knowledgeable on the topic, and actually grew up in district 6. Drew on his years of experience to give a very intresting tour. Beautiful and touching and a painful reminder.

Interesting museum, but it lacks some of the basics. I would have expected to learn more about District Six, why it was demolished etc. This information is not presented in an easy to comprehend way but rather it is spread out across the entire place.

Learn about the history of Capetown and District 6. Our guide was beautiful and amazing and had the most heart-wrenching story, I just wanted to hug her.

A CapeTown visit without a guided visit of District 6 museum is honestly a big loss!
I had high expectations, but when I did the guided tour with Ruth, this tour became the highlight of my SA trip !

Ruth will tell you about the story around the apartheid and District Six as well as, and most importantly, how she experienced the apartheid herself when living in District Six then having to evacuate.

Only consider visiting the museum with a guide to really grasp what was going on, and understand things from a human experience and not only a historical experience.

Thank you Ruth for enlightening me
