Robben Island Museum
Nelson Mandela officially opened the Nelson Mandela Gateway to Robben
Island on December 1, 2001, at the V&A Waterfront. Declared a World
Heritage Site on December 1, 1997, Robben Island has become a symbol of
the triumph of the human spirit.
A tour of the Robben Island Museum is a multifaceted journey which begins
at the Gateway, where multi-media exhibitions, a restaurant, an auditorium,
and a museum shop are housed.
A Robben Island Museum Tour includes a half-hour ferry trip, a guided
tour of the Maximum Security Prison, interaction with an ex-political
prisoner, and a bus tour of the historic buildings and the unique flora
and fauna of the 575 hectare island.
