The Apartheid Museum
The museum provided a very emotional tour of the history of Apartheid in South Africa. Upon entrance you are either classified as white or non-white and you must enter through that entrance. Unfortuantly photography inside the museum is not permitted. It was especially interesting visiting the museum on Madiba's (Madela's) 94th birthday.
