Renovations at Iziko

In keeping with our vision and mission, Iziko Museums of Cape Town, with funding from the Department of Public Works (DPW), is installing wheelchair access at our sites. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause our valued visitors, but thank you for bearing with us as we improve our museums’ accessibility for all. Sites affected include the Iziko Slave Lodge, Bo-Kaap Museum, Rust en Vreugd, the Old Town House and Koopmans-De Wet House.

The Iziko South African Museum is also finalising a repair and renovation project, funded by the DPW. Certain public areas such as the foyer, restaurant and retail area will be renovated and upgraded. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Our objective is to transform this area into a secure, welcoming space for visitors that will provide high quality public facilities with improved orientation and information about the Iziko South African Museum, as well as the collections and temporary exhibitions of Iziko’s other eleven museums.

The design solution and implementation of this revamp will embody in some ways the spirit and underlying ethos of Iziko, of providing a warm welcome that will be sure to enhance visitor experience.
