The racist national government destroyed what is known as District Six in the 1960s, and this memorial museum contains maps, photographs, and various memorabilia of this once vibrant neighborhood before its destruction. There are also live tours of the area as well as tours of the museum with guides who are experts in the history of the area, and the history and consequences of the racial conflict in South Africa, so it is a good place to learn about the experience this region has gone through and become what it is today.
