I came to Beaufort West without the knowledge of this museum and when I saw the board I was like I really need to check it out. I didn’t really know too much history on Dr Christiaan Bernard so I really came out very informed. History on the life and work with pictures Chris on display all over including an exhibition of the family home church and of Beaufort West as an area! A really really good place to visit if you’re in the area or are passing through and have time to spare. Unfortunately taking pictures inside was prohibited so no pictures of the inside but outside and entrance.
A great experience. Value for money at R100 to visit the Chris Barnard Museum where no photos could be taken the church and Barnard family home. While we had a guide it really self paced which meant you could spend time when and where you wanted. Well worth the hour and a bit
Outstanding museum of the Life of Chris Barnard and the people of the this Karoo town. You must visit!! Only R25 entry fee a must see .
Dr Chris Barnard, the Pastorie & Sending Church was an exceptional experience! A special word of Thank You to the Guide.
Make time to visit this museum. Very interesting, specially the Chris Barnard division with all his old equipment and awards. Also worth mentioning the house he used to live in as a child.
It was a very proud experience knowing our very own and we as SA citizens cn find inspiration from his life story
A wonderful guided tour. The guide is such a kind knowledgeable lady...well done!Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
A pity that the original operating theater display was removed. Also a pity the church benches was removed. Lighting in the church and especially the house is shockingly poor. The grass/lawn needs attention. Sorry to say but in general the museum was better in the past.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
The tour guide was really nice but the place around the museum is horrible! They almost stole our car's badge off! Beaufort West is the most kak place to visit! Tip: skip Beaufort West and go straight through to Oudtshoorn!!!
Very interesting, and I was pleasantly surprised by the helpfulness of staff, who showed me around!
