Dating back to 1679, the Slave Lodge is the second oldest building in South Africa and served initially as a lodge for the slaves of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) and subsequently as the first post office, library and supreme court. The Museum houses collections of ceramics, toys, silver and textiles as well as artifacts from ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, the Near East and the Far East. Displays on Cape history, Khoisan herders, African money and slavery are on view.

There is a beautiful historic courtyard with a well, offering a shaded cocktail venue in good weather. The atmospheric Lecture Hall is well suited to luncheon meetings, cocktail parties and conferences.
