The Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History in Pretoria preserves South Africa's ethnographic, archaeological and historical heritage. Its collections range from San rock-art copies and Iron Age artefacts to colonial-era objects and the material culture of the country's many communities. Long known under earlier names, it anchors a national network of museums documenting anthropology and history. Displays trace human settlement across the region and the encounters that shaped modern South Africa.
