Chancellor House, Legal practice museum in Ferreirasdorp, South Africa.
Chancellor House stands as a three-story structure at the intersection of Fox and Gerard Sekoto streets near Johannesburg's law courts.
Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo established South Africa's first black-owned law firm in this building during the 1950s, defending individuals against state accusations.
The ground floor museum displays photographs, timelines, and documents that illustrate the legal pioneers' contributions to South African society.
The exterior exhibits remain accessible day and night, allowing visitors to learn about the site's significance through informational panels and historical photographs.
A 5-meter steel sculpture titled Shadow Boxing stands next to the building, depicting Nelson Mandela in his 1952 sparring stance.
