Few places in Cape Town speak more eloquently of the effect of apartheid on the day-to-day lives of ordinary people than the District Six Museum.
Situated on the northern boundary of District Six, on the corner of Buitenkant and Albertus streets, the museum occupies the former Central Methodist Mission Church, which offered solidarity and ministry to the victims of forced removals right up to the 1980s, and became a venue for anti.apartheid gatherings.

Today, it houses a series of fascinating displays that include everyday household items and tools of trades, such as hairdressing implements, as well as documentary photographs, which evoke the lives of the individuals who once lived here.
Occupying most of the floor is a huge map of District Six as it was, annotated by former residents, who describe their memories, reflections and incidents associated with places and buildings that no longer exist.
There's also an almost complete collection of original street signs, secretly retrieved at the time of demolition by the man entrusted with dumping them into Table Bay.
