WebsiteThe South African Museum is situated at the top of Queen Victoria Street within the peaceful Company’s Gardens. The museum exhibits the largest collection of meteorites in the country, and incredible life-like reproductions of animals, of which fossilised remains were discovered in the Karoo semi-desert. There is also a whale skeleton, some members of the aquatic world, and examples of flora. Adjoining the museum is the Planetarium, whose projectors replicate the heavens and illuminate the constellations over a 26,000 year time span. Shows and talks are given regularly.
