Hout Bay Museum, Local history museum in Hout Bay, South Africa.
The Hout Bay Museum spans across multiple exhibition spaces at 4 Andrews Road, documenting the development of the local valley through artifacts and photographs.
Following a 1975 Cultural Arts Festival in Hout Bay, retired conservation official Jimmy Steele initiated the establishment of this museum, which opened in April 1979.
The museum presents exhibitions about local industries, including forestry, mining, and fishing, alongside displays about the Khoi-San people of the region.
Visitors can access the museum Monday through Friday from 8:00 to 16:00, with guided nature walks into surrounding mountains scheduled throughout the week.
The museum houses preserved graffiti from 1922 created by workers during the construction of Chapman's Peak, offering insights into early infrastructure development.
