Housed in a former Methodist church, this community museum memorialises District Six, a vibrant multiracial inner-city neighbourhood whose residents were forcibly removed and whose homes were bulldozed under apartheid from the 1960s. Exhibits include a large floor map annotated by former residents, street signs salvaged from the demolition, and personal testimonies and photographs. The museum works closely with displaced families and supports the return of land, offering one of the most moving accounts of forced removal in the country.
