LECTURE AND WALKABOUT: CAPE MUSLIM AND SLAVE HERITAGE MUSEUM

The Cape Muslim & Slave Heritage Museum narrates the unedited history of the Cape by exploring the arrival of the Dutch East Indian Company, British Imperialism, the slave trade, the emancipation of the slaves, the vibrant cultures of District Six and Bo-Kaap and the contribution of Muslim, Jewish, Christian, the African and Asian diasporas in shaping contemporary South African culture . The museum tells this emotive visual story through a rare collection of paintings, artefacts, photographs and relics and aims to preserve the Muslim and Slave history of the Cape.
