A visit to the South African Military Museum in Johannesburg
I've been meaning to make a video about the South African military museum in Johannesburg for some time. Unfortunately when I got there was a strict policy of no photographs in the main hall which limited my filming opportunities to the outside areas.
It's a fun morning out and I'm sure if I hadn't have been with my son I would have been able to spend more time looking at all of the exhibits.
It is a very dated museum and compares badly to the Imperial war museum in London. It's worth a visit if you are nearby but I wouldn't travel a long way to come.

South African National Museum of Military History
During the First World War (1914 - 1918) no formal showcase was made of South Africa’s involvement in that war.In 1940, Capt J Agar-Hamilton was appointed official historian of
the Union Defence Forces. The formation of an Historical Research Committee that same year was to ensure the preservation of documents and military memorabilia and lay the
foundation for the establishment of a museum.The South African National War Museum was officially opened on 29 August 1947 by the then Prime Minister of South Africa, Field
Marshal J C Smuts PC, CM, OM, DTD, KC. At the opening ceremony, Smuts stated the following We are gathered here today to open what may not unfairly be looked upon as a
memorial to the greatest united effort our country has been called upon to produce. Memorials, of course, have more than one use. They serve to remind us of what is past, of great
deeds of heroism and sacrifice; they also serve as a pointer, and sometimes as a warning to the future.It is in these senses that the South African War Museum may be regarded as a
memorial. It will remind us, I hope, not only of the part we played in the recent great struggle to save civilization, but also of the horrors, the loss of life and the devastation, and
serve as a warning to us to create a world in which we shall never have to use again the weapons of mass destruction we see here today, or those dreadful weapons to follow them.He was
referring to South Africa’s participation in the Second World War and had pinpointed the raison d’etre of the Museum’s existence.In 1975 the Museum’s name was changed to the
South African National Museum of Military History and its scope was expanded to include the history of all military conflict in which South Africans have played a part. The Museum
also serves as a popular and unusual venue for conferences and other functions.In 1999, following the restructuring process of national museums, the Museum was amalgamated together
with the Transvaal Museum of Natural History and the National Cultural History Museum into the Northern Flagship Institution. This institution was renamed Ditsong: Museums of
South Africa in 2009 and the Museum is now called the Ditsong National Museum of Military History.

Constitution Hill Visit, Johannesburg✔
Everything you want to know about South Africa you will find in this channel!
Situated in the heart of Johannesburg, Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s transition from colonialism and apartheid to democracy, with all the pain, pathos and catharsis that such a journey entails.
The site served as a prison and briefly as a military fort for 100 years, incarcerating men, women and even children within its walls. Its long-standing history of incarceration and abuse is today laid bare for all to see (which you can do with a personal guide). The sites of these museums – the Old Fort, the Women's Jail and Number Four – are juxtaposed against profound symbols of human rights, democracy and constitutionalism, making the site a place of remembrance and redemption.

South African Museum was actually FREAKING AMAZING | Things to do in Cape Town
We visited the South African Museum in Cape Town. They have a massive variety of exhibits from rock art and fossils to african mammals (whales, antelope, the big 5 etc), reptiles, birds, sharks, dinosaurs and the planetarium. For only R30 (R40 incl Planetarium, less than $3) you can spend hours catching up on forgotten facts and learning a ton of new ones. Suitable for the whole family.
