This interactive museum, the first museum of childhood in Africa, provides an institution for the heritage, documentation, memory, oral history, research, and interpretation of childhood. Housing a national collection of childhood-related exhibitions, the museum aims to capture the heritage of childhood and the role that children play in society. This is achieved through an interactive space that allows an opportunity for children, families and communities to celebrate childhood, to gain insights into childhood and to learn about childhood heritage.

Schools Programme
We offer a programme for schools who would like to do group visits to our museum. School group visits are run on Tuesdays and are best suited to grade 3 and grade 4 learners. School group visits are limited to 30 children per visit. School visits to the museum are free, however, we encourage school groups that have the means to make a donation toward our museum school visit programme to support visits from less privileged schools.
