Museum offers a lot of information not only about South African, but also about the human kind evolution. You will be guided with audio in 6 languages (including French German and English). You could stay longer than the presentation, of 90 minutes. It is actually recommended for you to do so.You can also apply for a DNA sample so you can track your ancestral origins at the National Health Laboratory Services, located at the corner of Joubert and De Kotze streets. It exhibits amazing collection of fossils, replicas you can touch and hold (open the drawers), and a stone tool collection spanning about 3 million years. It's an incredible museum for anyone interested in anthropology, archaeology, stone tools, evolution, and the role of South Africa in the development of early man. At last enjoy the amazing food at the cafe inside.
