NB: Please be advised that the tour operator (Explore Joburg) is NOT liable for any operational closures of the Apartheid Museum should the museum be closed without notice.

An alternative 2hr Museum experience is "The Constitution Hill", home of the Constitution Court of South Africa, Men's Prison #4, and Women's Jail which detained political & activists like Winnie & Nelson Mandela, Robert Sobukwe & Gandhi.
