Description
18 Gangster Museum is the first of its kind in Africa. This innovative living museum aims to help South African youth better understand the treacherous path that too many in their communities take into gangsterism and, ultimately, prison. More importantly, 18 Gangster Museum seeks to offer a positive alternative.
As you explore the Gangster Museum, you’ll gain insights into the history, characters, and events that shaped the city’s criminal landscape. It’s a place that presents a side of Cape Town not often seen, offering an opportunity for reflection on the complex interplay between crime, society, and resilience.
