The Cape Town Museum of Childhood, an exciting museum for children & adults of all ages, exploring & celebrating childhood, opening in Cape Town in 2018
The Cape Town Museum of Childhood, funded by the National Lotteries Distribution Trust Fund, will provide an institution for the heritage, documentation, memory, oral history, research, and interpretation of childhood.
The Museum will house a national collection of childhood-related exhibitions. The Museum’s aim is to capture the heritage of childhood and the role that children play in society. This will be done through documenting, studying and interpreting childhood by creating an interactive space that allows an opportunity for children, families and communities to celebrate childhood, to gain insights into childhood and to learn about childhood heritage. The Museum is located in Milner Road, Rondebosch with renovation work due to be completed in 2018.
