Bartolomeu Dias Museum

1 Market Street, Mossel Bay, South Africa
The Bartolomeu Dias museum complex was officially opened on 3 February 1989, however the Mossel Bay museum industry can be traced back to the 1960's when the Mossel Bay museum was first opened. The museum later became known as the Post Tree museum complex before being renamed again in 1989
