Very informative & heart breaking place
This musuem have insulted the islamic religion by misleading the audiences that Islam is against the women rights! Which is not true. It is a shame.
Important museum !
Disappointing collection. Perhaps we were wrongly lead to believe it was about slavery but only 20% of the museum 's dedicated to it.
Museu incrível, que conta, passo-a-passo, a história da escravidão no mundo e na África do Sul, com muita informação e bastante interativo.
No esperéis mucho sobre esclavitud. Menos de 1/4 parte está dedicado a el pasado como almacén de esclavos del edificio.
Very interesting museum. A must visit when in CT. Make sure to pay an extra R15 for the guided tour. - Clara A
