We spent about 3 hours
here and could probably go back a couple of more times to take it all
in. From the entrance gates for whites and non-whites – your
classification is assigned arbitrarily on your entrance ticket – to
the stories and films of the demonstrations and repression of the
80's the museum tells a powerful story very well. To be immersed in
the stories that one remembers vaguely from news coverage at the time
was very moving and really brought home the horror of the whole
system.
There was also an
exhibition on the life of Nelson Mandela which gave a great insight
into his life and times and also showed the human side of a man who
is so well respected around the world.
Both of these are a
must for anyone coming here.
