KwaMuhle Museum

The KwaMuhle Museum is dedicated to the history of race laws in KwaZulu-Natal, showing through multimedia presentations the experiences of local people during Apartheid. It is housed in the building that was once the Department of Native Affairs, from which the infamous labour system was administrated. KwaMuhle means 'place of the good one' in honour of a white man who ran the department, but did his best to fight the system from within. A fascinating and very personal look at the diverse and difficult cultural history of the region. It's open Monday to Saturday from 8:30am to 4pm, and Sundays and public holidays from 11am to 4pm. The KwaMuhle is near the centre of Durban, close to several bus and taxi routes.
