Cape Town Museums & Galleries

Cape Town’s museums and galleries span diverse historical eras and specialized subjects. The Iziko Slave Lodge and Bo-Kaap Museum document the city's complex social history and Islamic heritage, while the Heart of Cape Town Museum marks the site of the world’s first heart transplant. Specialized collections include the South African Naval Museum's submarine, the Gold of Africa Museum's West African artifacts, and the Waterworks Museum on Table Mountain, which details the construction of early 20th-century reservoirs.
