Best selection of South African beadwork that exists... An absolute must see for anyone passionate about Africa....Just be careful you dont get a personal tour with the owner... unless you want to drown in his philosophical creative thoughts

Its lovely place just small then I expected

The collection housed at Phansi Museum and the guided tour is amazing it gives warmth in winter 😂😂😂

Beautiful museum with country wide collection of traditional clothes, items and artwork. Curators are highly knowledgeable and friendly. The museum has a shop that sells local literature, jewelry and other traditional items.

Absolutely beautiful museum. Lovely events.

Nice little museum which is obviously lovingly looked after.

Phansi Museum should be on your list when youre visiting Durban. Its a really stellar private collection in a very unique building. Our guide, Phumzile, was amazing! She knew so much about the collection and was able to share some great stories. She also did a song and dance for us! Make sure to call ahead and book your time so you dont miss out. Parking available.

Lovely Ambience

Really informative and interesting tour of southern african art! Everyone who works there is super passionate. Insipiring to experience the wealth of our people’s heritage and hear the stories behind each piece of art from beer pots and milk jugs to beaded stories and to all the different traditional dresses.

Wonderful to see so much of the history of beaded work and other African art

Great experience from an excellent guide! Thousands of artefacts from indigenous people. Well kept and never too busy.

A great museum! They give you a personal guided tour and explain the customs of the surrounding areas/tribes from old to new. Go here.

Definitely visit here if you want to know Zulu and other African culture. Great collection and very informative guide.

One of the best museums in Durban. I enjoyed Hlengi Dubes exhibition in 2017

We had a fantastic tour of the museum led by Phumzile Nkose. Beautiful items of beadwork, wood and pottery in particular are displayed. Phumzile really brought the items to life and explained their significance to Zulu culture and those of other South African tribes. Thank you very much.

Its a beautiful museum, well run by lovely, caring and committed people who add value to peoples lives theyll never know how much...thank you.

Amazing guide... Can do with some good Cataloging of their artefacts.

Fantastic Museum housing a one of a kind collection of Southern African art and craft. Wonderful staff.

Friendly staff who can tell you a lot about the culture and all the stuff they show in the museum. A visit is highly recommended!
