What travellers are saying
- Linda EBeverly Hills, CA3 contributionsI went through the museum with a guide who was displaced by the District Six devastating program. He personalized our tour and I would highly recommend that experience.Written 25 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- mingchi86York, UK104 contributionsSome absolutely stunning pieces, lots of interesting contemporary work. A couple of spaces were not open to the public but still lots to see. The building itself is worth a visit alone if you're into concreteWritten 19 September 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- Jaine H7 contributionsAfter two years closure(due to Covid19 restrictions) I am happy to say that the Heart of Cape Town has reopened.
I took my home school students for the tour yesterday and it was fantastic.
This was my third tour with students and the tour guide Cindy was the best. She is an oracle, not a doctor, who is totally invested in the history of Chris Barnard and his team who performed the World's , first ever, heart transplant.
She is articulate, while using plain speak on the technical aspects while sharing small anecdotes that add humor and breath life, into what could be a sterile tour - excuse my puns.
Amazing life life exhibitions transport the visitor back to that historic night.
My students aged 11 and 12 (grade 6) were fascinated throughout the tour. No better way to learn history than through the experience.
This tour is Cape Town's best educational and tourist attraction. Don't miss it.Written 11 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Guilherme Lorvão2 contributionsI really enjoy the visit.

- WaynegreavesScunthorpe, UK153 contributionsThe rollercoaster of emotions one experiences along your journey through the museum is down to the professionalism in the display, layout and information. This is how a museum should be.Written 4 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- London travellerLondon, UK41 contributionsI found it very interesting, there are some really innovative pieces- one wonderful almost photographic quality picture - just made from dice. It’s extraordinary and the story poignant too. Be sure to see it if you go.
There’s also some very moving personal stories about rape - set to some haunting music. 90 minutes well spent.Written 17 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - Roshni MakhijaUnited Kingdom17 contributionsBeautiful coloursed houses, history and very touristy, i would spend a coffee break, picturesm know the history and head out.
