Artistic place where one can learn more about the craft and history and heritage of South Africa.

Friendly personell and beautiful exhibition

Fantastic, we learned a lot and got to see a mummified body

One of the largest museums in SA, with the best baboon collection in southern Africa. The museum has the best staff ever, they were helpful and generous towards me during my research visit

Verg good large collection of stuffed mammals and birds on display. Interactive displays are all broken and run down. Kids loved it still. (Dec2019, Cost R40/adult R20/child)

Opera is one of the most important elements of the Italian cultural heritage, and probably the most important Italian cultural assets in South Africa. This style of performance, born in Italy over four hundred years ago, has become so widespread and deeply rooted in the world that it is regarded as the highest and most complex expression within musical theatre.The Teatro dell’Opera di Roma, born in 1880, over the centuries, was able to bring together internationally renowned set and costume designers, whose works form a gigantic iconographic heritage through artistic and highly relevant documents. The Historical Archives preserves this precious collection of more than 11.000 sketches and 90.000 costumes, 10.000 pictures, 10.000 playbills, press-reviews since 1911, audios since 1964 and videos since 1984.The exhibition was opened on March 28th with a special performance by opera students of the Tshwane University of Pretoria. The display is a selection of 49 sketches and 14 costumes, each piece related to a famous opera title, selected essays designed by theatrical artists ranging from 1912 to the present day, part of the golden age of opera. This exhibition is a tribute to Opera, a journey through the masterpieces and the most famous characters of the lyrical repertoire performed at the Teatro dell’Opera in the last century, from Barbiere di Siviglia to Aida, Tosca, Madama Butterfly, La Traviata, Andrea Chénier, Don Pasquale, Cavalleria Rusticana and many others.The exhibition will be open to the public until April 30th.#Opera #Italian #Teatro #Exhibition #Pretoria #Tshwane #WSPianos

It wonderful for taking out kids on weekends

An amazing place! As a curator from a museum I am blown away by the neatness and order of the large collections!!!

The place is very neat and the staff were very much friendly. I like it.

Its beautiful and insightful, creepy mummy display but I loved it. The place was not cleaned though after an event -Im assuming . Curtains for deco were not put down which made it hard to see things up on some of the walls.

Good place for events, it is safe, the facility needs maintenance

Nice place to visit

Beautiful place with so much to learn

The Ditsong National Museum of Natural History, formerly the Transvaal Museum, is a natural history museum situated in Pretoria, South Africa. It is located on Paul Kruger Street, between Visagie and Minnaar Streets, opposite the Pretoria City Hall. The museum was established in 1895 by the former South African Republic, also known as the Transvaal. In 2010 it was one of the founding Museums of Ditsong Museums of South Africa. It was founded as the Staatsmuseum (Afrikaans for State Museum) of the ZAR on 1 December 1892, and J. W. B. Gunning was appointed as its first director. For the first two years after it was founded, the museum was located in the Ou Raadsaal parliament building.
