Natural history since 1825: fossils, animals and the whale hall.

Why it’s worth it

Founded in 1825, the South African Museum covers fossils, animals, human tools and clothing under one roof, and has a planetarium. It sits beside the Company's Garden, so the two combine easily. A good wet-weather option.
