Ditsong National Museum of Natural History

The DITSONG: National Museum of Natural History is the only natural history museum in Gauteng and one of the largest in South Africa. It is unique in that it is the only institute in South Africa that offers the local, national and international community the opportunity to view its collections including original fossil material usually denied the public.

On these collections are based the Museum’s educational programmes, research is done and information is communicated to all people of South Africa as well as to the international community. The target audience for these museums are children, youth, adults, students, tourists (foreign and local), researchers and the public in general.
