Huguenot Memorial Museum, French Huguenot heritage museum in Franschhoek, South Africa
The Huguenot Memorial Museum displays artifacts, documents, and exhibits detailing the French Huguenots' settlement in the Cape Colony during the late 17th century.
The museum, established in 1948, chronicles the migration of French Huguenots who fled religious persecution and found refuge in South Africa's Cape region.
The exhibits present genealogical records, traditional crafts, agricultural methods, and the lasting influence of Huguenot settlers on South African society.
Located on Lambrechts Road, the museum opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with admission fees of R100 for adults and R50 for children and students.
The museum complex includes South Africa's first perfume museum, a memorial monument, and a garden featuring local wildflower species.
