Red Location Museum, Museum in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, South Africa

The Red Location Museum is a museum in New Brighton, Port Elizabeth, designed by Jo Noero of Noero Wolff Architects and opened in 2006. Its twelve corrugated-iron boxes, each 6 by 6 by 12 metres, echo the shacks of the surrounding township. Inside are an auditorium, library, art gallery, memorial space and offices, with no set route through the displays.

The site held a Boer concentration camp whose residents were moved in 1900, when the area became one of Port Elizabeth's first urban settlements for Black people. New Brighton was later a centre of the 1952 Defiance Campaign, where some of the first arrests were made, and of the first Umkhonto we Sizwe cells. The museum opened on 10 November 2006 and closed on 18 October 2013 after protests over housing.

The space holds memories of South Africa's struggle for freedom through photographs, objects, and voices of people from the local community. The exhibition shows what daily life was like for those who lived through this period.

The museum has been closed to the public since 18 October 2013, when protests over housing led to the closure of the museum, library and gallery; it has not reopened. It stands at the corner of Olof Palme and Singaphi Streets in New Brighton. Vandalism and theft of wiring, fittings and fencing left it derelict, and a reopening was estimated to need R21 million.

The museum deliberately uses industrial materials and the look of corrugated metal containers to mirror the architecture of local residential areas. This design choice makes the building itself a statement about the history and identity of the place.
