Port Elizabeth Museum Guide ποΈπ
π Location: Inside Bayworld on Beach Road (combined ticket with Oceanarium, R30) β οΈ Note: Oceanarium seems permanently closed (RIP π¬) Exhibition Highlights 1. Natural History Section π¦΄π Fossil displays & biological models (kinda smelly π) "Snake House" with 5-6 lethargic snakes in terrariums (even amateur herpetologists could do better π) 2. History Section βπΈ Maritime History: Features an entire ship's hull + a Portuguese colonial cannon from Macau! π’π₯ City Archives: 1920s photos of Humewood/Summerstrand - shockingly unchanged! ποΈπ² Photography Evolution: Cool vintage cameras & equipment (photog nerds will love π·β€οΈ) Ethnic Groups: Wall texts tracing local communities' lineages (skip if pressed for time πββοΈπ¨) β±οΈ Duration: 1-hour speedrun = worth the R30 (~Β₯12) π¬ Verdict: Decent provincial-level museum.
