Located in the restored parsonage built for Lutheran minister Martin Melck in 1783, this fascinating museum displays artifacts relating to the traditional gold-mining cultures of sub-Saharan Africa, most specifically the Akan of present-day Ghana. Most of the items were on display in Switzerland prior to 2001, when the collection was bought by the mining company AngloGold Ashanti, with the intent of returning it to Africa. Daily 9:30 am-5 pm. R25 adults, R10 children younger than 10. Martin Melck House, 96 Strand St., City Centre, Cape Town. Phone 021-405-1540. http://www.goldofafrica.com.
