Great museum, there is lots of information which we found very interesting and helped us understand a lot more about the history of PE and in particular the period of forced relocation of so many different people due the apartheid laws. There was also a lot of photos which only made it more obvious how the community lived together before apartheid.
"Please look after this bear, thank you" can be seen on the front of a blood stained shirt that once belonged to a little boy killed by the apartheid police. This item and the rest of the museum is a heart wreching reminder of the struggles and injustices that flourished during the apartheid regime. The museum looks back at the once vibrant and bustling community that was South End. Generations of families and businesses were uprooted and displaced under the notorious Group Areas act. All that remains are the photos and paintings preserved in this museum. The museum is pristine and immaculate and a perfect example of a well run institution. Really worth a visit as a reminder of how far our beautiful country has come and how far we still have to go and to remember the trials and tribulations faced by so many of our people.
Lovely place, unfortunately missed a few sections due to renovation but that's another reason to go back. Very informative and vivid.

We didn't spend any time in the Museum at all, but went on a guided walking tour of the South End Precinct - an area made desolate by forced removals of the multi cultural communities that lived there in harmony prior to 1950. It's a sad story, but part of South Africa's history. We were ably guided by Colin Abrahams from the Museum with a wry sense of humour and really in depth knowledge of this area. I also had the good fortune to meet an elderly gentleman who had in actual fact lived there as a child. The most notable sites were the two mosques in the area, the soldiers' graveyard, Malay graves, the ruins of St Peter's Church and a 150 year old fig tree. The Museum is open daily, from 09:00 and from 10:00 over weekends. A worthwhile visit to get a good idea of life in Port Elizabeth before and after the implementation of apartheid laws.
What a great place with such rich history of PE and South End itself! Really great place with a nice little coffee shop as well with a stunning view
Such a historic venue. a MUST VISIT when in Nelson Mandela Bay.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNo
Never ever think that knowledge is limited. There is lots of information both written and video about the fight against Apartheid. The forced removal act. If you big on academics and history this is definitely a good place to visit when you here.
An absolutely neat, clean and tidy Museum. The staff are friendly. Self tour. A few areas still under construction. Was great for my kids to learn about our country's history.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo wait
