Cape Town - District Six Museum

The District Six Museum is for and about the people of the now-vanished district. On the museum's floor is a large-scale map on which former residents are encouraged to label their old homes and features of their neighbourhood.

70,000 residents of this multi-ethnic area were displaced in 1966 when the South African government decided the community was to be a white one. After District Six was bulldozed in 1982, the government changed the street layout and the names of the few roads remaining. Much of the area lays empty.
