Stellenbosch Museum, History museum in Stellenbosch, South Africa.

The Stellenbosch Museum comprises four period houses, each representing different architectural styles and living arrangements from the region's past. The rooms are furnished with period furniture, decorative arts, and household objects that reflect how residents lived across different centuries.

The museum was proclaimed on 23 March 1962, with Grosvenor House as its first home. Schreuder House, built in August 1707 by Sebastian Schreuder, a German messenger of the Dutch East India Company court, is the oldest period house in the complex. It was declared a monument in 1974. The VOC Kruithuis powder magazine was completed on 5 May 1777 after tenders were called on 7 October 1776.

The furnished rooms display how people from different social classes lived, with household objects and decorative items that reveal their tastes and daily routines from centuries past. These spaces show how craftspeople and families expressed themselves through the things they chose to keep around them.

The complex is spread across several buildings in central Stellenbosch, with the four period houses grouped as the Village Museum and the powder magazine and toy museum separate. Allow time to move between them on foot. The Schreuder House has a clay floor and low doorways, so watch your step and mind your head.

The VOC Kruithuis was completed on 5 May 1777 after the tender of Philip Hartog and Lambert Fick for 9000 guilders was accepted; the Landdrost had called for tenders on 7 October 1776. Permission to build the magazine had been sought from and granted by the Company's governing council in the Netherlands.
