District Six Museum

A large map of District Six covers the floor of this museum, marked with handwritten notes from former inhabitants showing where their houses once stood. Founded in 1994, the museum occupies an old Methodist church in the former inner-city residential area of Cape Town whose name it carries. Wikidata classes it as a memorial.

Around the map, exhibits cover historical moments, the lives of families from the area, historical declarations and the demolition of the district, alongside objects such as old traffic signs. Among the district's former residents is the jazz musician Abdullah Ibrahim, better known as Dollar Brand.

The museum also runs programmes with current inhabitants to help develop the district, working on housing, environmental planning, and music, literature and art activities with active public involvement. Its stated aim is to bring people together in a community grounded in dignity, identity and the co-existence of different races. It suits visitors interested in the district's history and in how a community remembers a lost neighbourhood.
