Iziko South African Museum

Why go

Its collections offer a different Cape Town experience from the neighbouring art gallery. Fossils, ancient insects, fish specimens and historical tools place natural and human histories side by side. Iziko describes material ranging from fossils hundreds of millions of years old to more recent cultural objects, inviting a slower look at the region’s biological and cultural diversity.

What to look for

• Natural history specimens and fossils
• Galleries on southern African heritage

Useful to know

• Check current exhibitions and hours with Iziko.
• If pairing the museum with the Company’s Garden, set aside separate time for its galleries.
