WORLD-CLASS ATTRACTION, ONSITE!
The Bushman Heritage Museum
An immersive experience into the wisdom of the /Xam. For thousands of years the /Xam Bushman lived in the Great Karoo. Within 250 years of the coming of the Dutch and English settlers, they had been driven into extinction. But they had a profound understanding of the creation of the sun, moon, and stars, and world. Their stories are startlingly relevant in our current times of environmental catastrophe. They were saved by a sort of miracle, in a manuscript that has been studied and interpreted in giant tapestries and the Bushman Heritage Museum for twenty Years by Bushman descendants.
We offer:
- Gallery of Tapestries, with a guide to explain the stories (Entrance Fee R65)
- A gallery shop to purchase original lino prints and textiles made at the museum,
- A licensed restaurant / café, with an excellent choice of wines. We have a reputation as being one of the best vegan and vegetarian restaurants/Café in the Karoo with seasonal vegetables we grow in our community garden. Creative light meals are always available. We serve a variety of meat dishes, specializing in Karoo lamb - lamb shank and our famous lamb curry are very popular.
- Warm hospitality and a chance to talk with our Bushman artist who runs the Centre.
