This ethnographic gallery holds a wonderful collection of photographs of southern African tribes taken in the 1920s and 1930s, before many aspects of traditional life were lost. Photographer Alfred Duggan-Cronin lived in this 19th-century house before his death in 1954. There's a section dedicated to Hugh Tracey, who travelled southern Africa in the mid-20th century, capturing traditional African music. You can listen to many of his recordings and see some candid caught-in-a-moment-of-happiness photos.
