    This is an excellent and moving presentation. Unfortunately most Soweto tours do not allow enough time to fully partake of all that is available. If I had a choice of visiting the much larger Apartheid Museum or this one, it would certainly be this!

    What a great museum summing up South Africa's history all in the one place and so well as well!I walked in not knowing a whole lot and walked out with so much more knowledge, was definitely sad to see/read your way through the museum, yet educational and also inspiring to see Mandela's breakthrough and return to ANC to see the apartheid times come to an end with a new government. Spent 3 and a bit hours here but could easily spend a whole day or more, reading all exhibits more carefully. The Mandela exhibition along side the museum is also great, Mandela, what a great man, inspiration to all! RIP

    This is a really nice museum with great architecture and really well presented history about Soweto. Really glad I visited, I highly recommend going.

    The photograph of Hector Pieterson's bloody body being carried by Mbuyisa Makhubo while Hector's sister is running next to them is one of the most iconic ever taken. It served to ram home the atrocities of the apartheid government to people throughout the world. That one image galvanized world wide resistance to that evil regime. While this museum which is visited during most tours to Soweto bears his name in memorial, it is more than a memorial to just one person. Hector's death was the culmination of a series of demonstrations carried out by young students protesting the policies of apartheid epitomized by the imposition of Afrikaans as the language of instruction.This museum takes you through the origins of apartheid in words – lots of words – and pictures but it concentrates on the evolution of racist educational policies in the run up to the demonstrations of June 1976. It is a memorial for all the students who revolted against these policies, a revolt which heralded the final extirpation of apartheid.When you enter the museum you will be led through a brief chronological history of apartheid with extensive text. Next, a detailed review of educational policies will be presented and, finally the specific events leading up to the events of June 1976 are illustrated on a day by day basis.Unfortunately most formal Soweto tours allow a limited time to be spent at the museum. This will only enable a cursory overview of the narrative which is presented to be made. It is, however, key to understanding the history that one takes sufficient time to read the presentation. If at all possible and if you are truly interested in understanding the context then try to spend at least one hour here.

    An excellent museum to learn about the history of the Soweto uprising. Such a tragic part of this country's history, but a wonderful museum and tribute to all who worked to make change!

    This was a really interesting and heart wrenching museum. Gives 1st hand accounts from both the people involved in the riots and police officers. Very interesting and well laid out tour. There are guides outside who will show you around and explain things to you. Felt safe and car was also well looked after by the guard outside.

    The Hector Pieterson Museum is probably one of the highlights of the Soweto Tour. It gives a true reflection of those dark days and with it's factual accounts results in a far better rendition of what happened than the 'shock" tactics of the Apartheid Museum. It depicts an event which should never be forgotten or repeated.

    If You are interested in the history of democracy in South Africa, then this is an excellent platform. the Museum is of very high class standard. also a must to see.

    It was great going there, we got to see why people love Soweto so much. I must say if you are a local person, eating at Vilakazi street might be too expensive for an ordinary guy.

    An incredible of images and stories about this tragic event. The Museum is located at the spot where the shooting began and it is deeply moving. I didnt know much about the story before the visit and thought it was an excellent tribute to the people who died here.

    Learned about the history of Apartheid and the June 16 Soweto Uprising (in 1976), an important event of South Africa's history.
  • TerrylUnderwood
    Knowledgeable volunteers who took time to give us an insightful overview of the context of the June 16 uprising. Brought home the pivotal role played by the " so young" scholars and students in South Africa breaching the Apartheid Tipping Point.

    This museum is amazingly good and sad at the same time. If you go to Soweto, don't miss it. The story about Hector Pieterson and all those school kids trying to live a better a life is touching, emotional and will make you think new things about how cruel men can be. Go, read the stories, watch the videos and thank you didn't get to go through all those things.

    self guided tour of the museum. Very informative! Videos, pictures,articles of the events of the Soweto uprising and Hector. Meeting Hector's sister who works in the museum was much appreciated. I would recommend this visit as it is an important part of life in Soweto and the events surrounding the uprising.
