I timed my trip to this museum perfectly provided the 4pm closure time displayed here on Google maps. They kicked me out at 3:30pm, so just beware!

Lovely place, unfortunately missed a few sections due to renovation but that's another reason to go back. Very informative and vivid.

"Please look after this bear, thank you" can be seen on the front of a blood stained shirt that once belonged to a little boy killed by the apartheid police. This item and the rest of the museum is a heart wreching reminder of the struggles and injustices that flourished during the apartheid regime. The museum looks back at the once vibrant and bustling community that was South End. Generations of families and businesses were uprooted and displaced under the notorious Group Areas act. All that remains are the photos and paintings preserved in this museum. The museum is pristine and immaculate and a perfect example of a well run institution. Really worth a visit as a reminder of how far our beautiful country has come and how far we still have to go and to remember the trials and tribulations faced by so many of our people.

We didn't spend any time in the Museum at all, but went on a guided walking tour of the South End Precinct - an area made desolate by forced removals of the multi cultural communities that lived there in harmony prior to 1950. It's a sad story, but part of South Africa's history. We were ably guided by Colin Abrahams from the Museum with a wry sense of humour and really in depth knowledge of this area. I also had the good fortune to meet an elderly gentleman who had in actual fact lived there as a child. The most notable sites were the two mosques in the area, the soldiers' graveyard, Malay graves, the ruins of St Peter's Church and a 150 year old fig tree. The Museum is open daily, from 09:00 and from 10:00 over weekends. A worthwhile visit to get a good idea of life in Port Elizabeth before and after the implementation of apartheid laws.
