Constitution Hill

Constitution Hill is a museum in Johannesburg that houses multiple prison complexes, an old military fort, and the Constitutional Court of South Africa. The three prisons at Constitution Hill, the Old Fort, the Women's Jail, and Number Four, have held some of the world's most renowned figures including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and others. There is an exhibit about the time spent by both Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela in the prison. Visitors can also see the cell in the Old Fort, where Nelson Mandela was held.

Apartheid Museum

Situated at the Gold Reef City campus, The Apartheid Museum, which opened in 2001, illustrates what life was like for South Africans under the apartheid system through dramatic photographs, videos, press clips, personal artefacts and moving anecdotes. At the entrance to the museum are seven pillars, one for each of the seven values on which the South African constitution is based. Visitors can take guided tours or tour the museum on their own. The veld garden as well as the coffee and museum shops offer visitors a chance to wind down after the tour.
