Wellington Museum
Africa under one roof!
Impossible? Decide for yourself!
Wellington Museum, situated in the winelands of the
western Cape, 45 minutes from Cape Town, features not only the cultures of
various African ethnic groups but also prides itself in having ties with
countries as far afield as America, England, Scotland, France, and the
Netherlands.
The Wellington Museum was founded in the early seventies by
a group of dedicated residents to preserve the history of the town and its
surrounding district.
