Formerly known as Voortrekker Museum, Msunduzi Museum comprises a complex that incorporates the Church of the Vow, the home of Andries Pretorius, a Voortrekker house and a girls’ school (the museum’s administrative building). The Church of the Vow was built in 1841 to fulfil the Voortrekkers’ promise to God at the Battle of Blood River. The words of the vow are in the Modern Memorial Church .
More recently the museum has had a name change and now describes itself as a multicultural institution, incorporating Zulu and Indian displays.
