The first thing that stood out as I walked into the old Native Administration Building was how clean and well preserved it was. Staff at reception were extremely helpful and kind. It was refreshing to experience good service from government employees. The museum itself is small with only 4 main display rooms. One of which has most of Durbans history in the form of story boards and sculptures depicting life at the time. There is a large room where an HIV AIDS gallery is held. There was too much writing on the walls. Literally. Another room showcased stories and paraphernalia of the Durban Old Boys, men who fought in World War 1. Although the information and faculties were relevant and informative, I expected more. Toilet facilities available. Ample parking. Safe.
Lovely place to learn about the history of Durban. Informative. Educational. Went during COVID, so more of the Museum had been closed off but still a lovely experience.
We attended during the ICASA week. Mr Uzzi Mpungose and his team did a stellar job at setting up the History of HIV in SA Exhibition. I do wish the Museum had more public bins though. Walking to find a bin was a challenge, especially when you have little time between broadcasting smyn online radio.
Important history of our people that the world must know.
Entry is for free but it was a random collection of exhibits. There was no real narrative of Durban but rather just stuff with limited information.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
One of the important place to give you the detail information as how was the life of black people , how apartheid policy dominated in South Africa. It also has hiv museum.
This is a gem of a museum. Well presented and informative displays. The museum is very clean and in an ideal location.
Best place to learn history about Durban and KwaZulu Natal, how it was and the changes we have achieved together as South African People
I learnt so much from our guide. Very informative. Was the first time i saw the dompass our elders used to talk about
quite disappointing. nothing much to see.
