The Apartheid Museum in Joburg

The Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, South Africa, opened in 2001 as part of a deal struck for the license of the Gold Reef City casino complex. The museum's stated aim is to be "a beacon of hope showing the world how South Africa is coming to terms with its oppressive past and working towards a future that all South Africans can call their own." Visitors are taken on "a dramatic emotional journey that tells a story of a state-sanctioned system based on racial discrimination and the struggle of the majority to overthrow this tyranny."
