About the Museum
The DITSONG: National Museum of Cultural History explores South Africa’s cultural diversity in various permanent and temporary exhibitions..
Exhibitions include rock paintings and engravings of the San people, thousand-year-old Iron Age figurines from Schroda in the Limpopo Province (described as “the best-known artefacts indicating ritual behaviour in the Early Iron Age”). An exhibition on Marabastad is a true example of a cosmopolitan and fully integrated rainbow nation before apartheid.
The Museum is in the old South African Mint building behind (west of) the Pretoria City Hall in the Pretoria CBD. It is easily accessible by road from all parts of the Gauteng Province. There is a Gautrain inner city bus drop-off point right at the entrance to the Museum premises.
