Wildlife apart, South Africa boasts some unique fascinating features that draw visitors since ages. ‘Gold mines’ in Africa lures many gold lovers and I can say that no visit can be complete without getting a thoughtful understanding of the story of African Gold. Here I am going to accustom you with the world’s first museum dedicated to history of African gold.
‘The Gold of Africa’museum , located in the Martin Melck House in Cape Town ( built in 1783 , is believed to be one of the finest remaining example of old cape town) the Gold of Africa museum complex is literally filled with the gold. Africa’s most beautiful gold artifacts, the museum houses present thousand years old African gold artifacts. The visitor can glimpse thousands of years of legend, ritual and art that were so mush part of the gold-rich kingdom of Africa.
Visitors can enjoy audio-visual presentations on the history of gold in our presentation suite.
Museum shop offers the finest examples of modern and traditional gold and jewellery in 18 and 22-carat gold. The museum authorities considered it as a goal to preserve the ancient African civilization and to work as a bridge between traditional designs and techniques to inspire development of a new form of African gold design.
