Following the abolition of slavery, the historic Bo-Kaap area in Cape Town became home to many Muslims and their history and culture are commemorated at the Bo-Kaap Museum. Displays, temporary exhibitions and special events continue to celebrate different aspects of Muslim culture. Located at 71 Wale Street

The Bo-Kaap Museum is in one of the oldest buildings in the old Malay Quarter, dating back to 1768. It's small and very well maintained. Rather than being a 'period' house with all sorts of copper kettles on the walls and cordoned-off antique furniture, it's a living social history museum.

The pictures and a few artifacts tell the story of the arrival of the first Muslims in the Cape and their contribution to the city as artisans and trades' people. Adventure Activities, Day Trips, Tours.
