Fietas Museum, Heritage museum in Pageview Gauteng, South Africa.

The Fietas Museum occupies one of the remaining original buildings in Pageview, displaying photographs and personal testimonies from the former residential area.

The museum documents the 1970s forced displacement of Indian residents from Fietas, a neighborhood established in 1894 as Johannesburg's Malay location.

Exhibitions feature photographs by David Goldblatt and Paul Weinberg, alongside family photographs that document the Indian community's life in the area.

The museum welcomes visitors Monday through Thursday from 10:00 to 16:00, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 14:00, with guided tours available by appointment.

The entrance doors display a quote from writer Nat Nakasa describing 14th Street's role as a shopping destination that connected people across racial boundaries.
