Waterworks Museum, Engineering museum near Hely-Hutchinson Reservoir, Table Mountain, South Africa
The Waterworks Museum contains machinery, photographs, and tools that document the construction of dams and water infrastructure on Table Mountain.
Founded in 1972 by retired engineer Terence Timoney, the museum preserves equipment from the late 19th century dam construction projects in Cape Town.
The museum maintains a collection of engineering artifacts that reflect the technological development of water management systems in South Africa.
Visitors can reach the museum through a 6-kilometer hiking trail from Constantia Nek, where parking facilities are available.
The museum displays a restored narrow-gauge steam locomotive from Scotland, which engineers dismantled and reconstructed on the mountain in 1898.
