  • The Workers ' Museum
    Johannesburg, South Africa
    The Workers' Museum tells the story of migrants who came to Johannesburg from throughout the southern African region. Having left their homes and families, black migrant workers faced slave-like conditions shown by the original dormitories, concrete bunks, and punishment room at the old compound building. The museum reveals the hardships of workers under the migrant labour system, from the early 1900s through to the 1970s, when the system of job reservation began to break down. More positively, it shows the vibrancy and creative resilience of migrant workers' culture. Centrally located, the municipal compound, together with the nearby cottages for white workers, was declared a national monument in 1996. By 2009, the building was extensively renovated, and new displays were installed. Open: 9am-5pm (Tuesday-Sunday) . The Friends of the Workers Museum offer special tours as well as heritage trails of the Museum and Newtown. These must be booked in advance!

  • Museum Africa
    Johannesburg, South Africa
    Museum Africa currently has a number of exhibitions that tell the diverse and complex story of South Africa. “Cartoons in Context” draws from the museum’s vast collection of original political cartoons. Dating back to the late 1700s and going right up to the 2000s, the selection shows how cartoons can be used both as a means of oppression and as a means of protest and change. “Johannesburg Tracks: Mapping sexuality in the city” follows eight gay, lesbian and transgender people through Johannesburg. It shows the way that “the gay experience” is part of the very fabric of Johannesburg. “Gandhi’s Johannesburg: The birthplace of Satyagraha” shows the buildings and places associated with Mahatma Gandhi and his struggle against discrimination and encourages visitors to go to the sites described in the museum.
