Lonely Planet review for Bo-Kaap Museum

This small museum provides some insight into the lifestyle of a prosperous 19th-century Cape Muslim family, and a somewhat idealised view of Islamic practice in Cape Town. The most interesting exhibit, although it lacks decent captions, is the selection of black-and-white photos of local life displayed in the upstairs room, across the courtyard. The house itself, which was built between 1763 and 1768, is the oldest in the area.

    This was tiny! And you don't learn much, it's always packed full of school trips. We did this as part of a Malay cooking course, which was definitely worth doing (just up from Bo-Kaap museum). And you get a tour of the Malay quarter.
