The South African Museum, established in 1825 by Lord Charles
Somerset, is the oldest and largest museum on the sub-continent. A
landmark in the historic Company's Garden, the Museum is housed in
an elegant late-Victorian building which was opened in the 1880's
and has been enlarged with modern extensions. The centre-piece of
the new wing is the Whale Well, one of the Mother city's most
spectacular venues.
The ambience of the exhibits, which range from fossil footprints to
trance-inspired San rock paintings, lends a unique atmosphere to
performances and other events held in the Museum. Celebrating a
special occasion or hosting corporate clients in the Whale Well is
an unforgettable experience, enhanced by the majestic presence of
the Blue Whale. Using the Museum for your special events and
conferences furthers awareness of South Africa's rich natural and
cultural heritage.
