The Afrikaans Language Museum and Monument

This museum of Afrikaans offers guided tours from experts who are able to explain the language and its history from personal perspectives. It’s found on Pastorialaan in the home of Gideon Malherbe, a prominent custodian of the language.

Courses are on offer such as Museum Studies, Records Management Workshop and Archiving. Completed in 1974, the granite Monument dominates the skyline as you pull into this incredibly beautiful town set about with wine estates and vineyards. It completes a thorough experience of this uniquely South African language.
