School visits : What you need to know

If you are considering a visit to the ApartheidMuseum, please be aware of the following:

Admission:   R10 per learner    R15 per teacher

• Bookings need to be confirmed a week beforehand. There is no guarantee that the school can be accommodated if the tour is not confirmed.
• The museum must be notified if the school is unable to attend at least a week beforehand.
• If you have made a booking, the museum will provide a guided tour for your school.
• If you arrive late, your school may forfeit your guided tour and the teachers may have to take learners around the museum themselves.
• The museum does not admit school groups of children younger than Grade 6 because of the sensitive nature of the material on display.
• The museum  opens at 9 am, and school tours take a minimum of two hours. Children will not benefit from the experience if the tour is cut short.
• Teachers are expected to accompany the children with the guide on the tour, and are responsible for the behaviour of the children during the tour.
• Teachers are encouraged to visit the museum before bringing their learners. We will not charge for this visit for a maximum of two teachers per school visit.
• Payment by cheque should be made out to the S.A. Apartheid Museum and            handed over on arrival at the ticket office. Payment can also be made in cash on arrival.
• Tours are designed for different age groups. Different age groups will explore different sections of the museum.
• Grades 6 – 9 children will each be given a booklet to work with in the museum, designed for their grade level. Teachers can also use these booklets in follow-up lessons when they return to school.
• Every learner must bring a pen to complete some written activities in the museum.
• No cameras are allowed in the museum.
• No food is allowed in the museum. If children require a snack break during the tour, this can be negotiated with the guide.
• Alcohol is not permitted in the museum. Teachers or children who are inebriated will not be allowed access to the museum. 

      We look forward to your visit.
