Description

Although there has been some reorganisation in recent years and a few new exhibits, in general, South Africa's oldest museum is showing its age. Although not a must-see, it does contain a wide and often intriguing series of exhibitions, many on the country's natural history. The best galleries are the newest, showcasing the art and culture of the area's first peoples, the Khoekhoen and San, and including the famous Linton Panel, an amazing example of San rock art.
There's an extraordinary delicacy to the paintings, particularly the ones of graceful eland. Turn your sights skyward in the adjoining planetarium.
