Johannesburg has a wide selection of great museums to choose from covering everything from the origins of humankind, apartheid history, warfare through the ages and modern African art and design.
The city is forever changing and many different people from all walks of life continue to leave their mark on its cosmopolitan urban landscape, meaning that much of the most important history and culture is to be found not in museums, but on the city's streets. Whether you are looking for the latest hipster neighbourhoods, pan-African cuisine, inspiring modern architecture, gold rush mining history, majestic public buildings or spectacular mosques and temples - Johannesburg has it all.
