Apartheid Museum
Guided tour through the Apartheid Museum (Wednesdays to Saturdays) illustrating the timeline 1948–1994: Segregation Laws, Group Areas, and the road to democracy.
About this tour
Step inside one of South Africa's most powerful CAPS-aligned History excursions. This guided Apartheid Museum school tour in Johannesburg walks Grade 4–12 learners through the rise and fall of apartheid, from the 1948 Segregation Laws and Group Areas Act to the 1994 democratic election.
Learners follow the museum's chronological exhibits with a registered tourist guide who unpacks key moments — the Sharpeville and Soweto uprisings, the role of Nelson Mandela and the ANC, life under pass laws, and South Africa's transition to a constitutional democracy. Powerful photography, archival film and personal stories bring the curriculum to life in a way no textbook can.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, museum entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested History school tours in Gauteng.
