McGregor Museum

TIME : 2016/2/17 10:30:23

This comprehensive museum warrants a visit of a couple of hours. It covers the Second Anglo-Boer War and South Africa's role in WWI, and has an incredibly detailed timeline offering a one-stop lesson in South African history, alongside landmark events in Kimberley's past. There's also an exhibit on the history of the building – built by De Beers in 1897 as a sanatorium – and a mock-up of the room where Rhodes sat out the Siege of Kimberley.
