The Iziko Koopmans-de Wet House Museum is undergoing a major transformation as part of a broader Reimagining Iziko Museums project, which focuses on upgrading, conserving and reinterpreting museum spaces and collections.

Dr Bongani Ndhlovu, Executive Director of Core Functions at Iziko Museums of South Africa, said as part of the Reimagining process furniture and artefacts had been removed from the facility based in Strand Street.

“Facilities and infrastructure as well as conservation work will take place at the Koopmans de Wet House Museum over the next few months.”

He said the museum will maintain its name and continue to offer physical and virtual exhibitions that honour its diverse heritage while training a new generation of heritage professionals.
