A well laid-out series of rooms, with progressive details. Very interesting with many unknown facts about the contributions made by Indian people to the history of South Africa. Starts with arrival of Indentured labourers from India in 1860, and moves on from there. Covers politics, urban development, occupations, trials and tribulations, education, family unity, determination and commitment. It gave a fair account of contributions (definitely not one-sided or biased). A celebration of life, continuity, and pride. As a South African, I have learnt a great deal today about things I never knew or was never taught.

Fantastic museum in Durban which provides amazing insights into the plight and hardships of the early Indian indentured laborers into the South Africa country and economy.
Well worth the two hour trip and I can recommend the guided tour, will provide new perspective to South Africa - a must see for tourist to SA

It took me many years before I actually found myself at this gem - and what a beautiful space to acknowledge the history of the Indian community in Durban. For me, the curated works were incredibly special and thoughtfully put together. Plan to spend at least an hour here reading through the many displays.
