The Bo-Kaap Museum


In the Bo-Kaap, we gazed at beautiful black and white photos of the neighborhood's people while we waited for our tour to begin. Emma sketched some of the faces into her journal.

The Bo-Kaap is a colorful neighborhood in Cape Town, with many Muslim residents. The Bo-Kaap Museum is transforming from a cultural history museum to "a social history museum that will tell the story of the local community within a national socio-political and cultural context" (museum website).
