We didn't spend any time in the Museum at all, but went on a guided walking tour of the South End Precinct - an area made desolate by forced removals of the multi cultural communities that lived there in harmony prior to 1950. It's a sad story, but part of South Africa's history. We were ably guided by Colin Abrahams from the Museum with a wry sense of humour and really in depth knowledge of this area. I also had the good fortune to meet an elderly gentleman who had in actual fact lived there as a child. The most notable sites were the two mosques in the area, the soldiers' graveyard, Malay graves, the ruins of St Peter's Church and a 150 year old fig tree.

The Museum is open daily, from 09:00 and from 10:00 over weekends. A worthwhile visit to get a good idea of life in Port Elizabeth before and after the implementation of apartheid laws.
