Paarl, the Museum

Housed in a handsome, thatched Cape Dutch building with one of the earliest surviving gables (1787) in the "new style", characterized by triangular caps, the contents of the Paarl Museum don't quite match up to its exterior.

It does include some reasonably enlightening panels on the architecture of the town, and several eccentric glass display cases of Victorian bric-a-brac.

There's also some coverage of the indigenous Khoisan populations of the area and the changes that came with European colonization, including slavery.
