South Africa is littered with monuments acknowledging the suffering endured by millions of people during the country's turbulent past and Cape Town's District Six Museum is a fascinating reminder of the apartheid era.
Located in an area of Cape Town once synonymous with racial unrest, the centre tells the story of District Six's development as a vibrant, multicultural suburb, before certain ethnic groups were forcibly removed beginning at the turn of the 20th century.
The neighbourhood was originally home to a wide array of artisans, former slaves and labourers and its Malay choirs were once a striking feature of life in District Six, but it was eventually declared a white-only area in 1966.
Local authorities and community groups joined up to set up the District Six Museum Foundation in 1989, with the facility attracting thousands of visitors taking holidays to South Africa since opening in 1994.
The infamous Robben Island prison - now a museum and Unesco world heritage site - is also just a short boat trip from Cape Town's V&A waterfront.
