You're greeted by a beautifully landscaped indigenous rock garden as you approach. The beautiful building welcomes you into a spacious, airy and light venue. There's more to learn and explore around every corner. An amazing place for reading, learning, and researching African literature, for students, kids and families; outstanding for live music performances; a calm place to just relax and enjoy something beautiful. Highly recommended.

I attended Dlala Indima's book launch, 2010 to 2020 Retrospective: Potrait of a Graffiti Project. It was a wonderful experience hosted by Pumelele Lavisa a curator at the museum who is also a collaborator with Buntu Fihla and Dr Zingisa Nkosinkulu, the authors of the book.

The Amazwi SA Museum of Literature is a total MUST SEE for scholars, students and the average person wanting to dive into the history of our country's heritage. As an interior designer and lover of all things creative, this museum checked all my boxes making a morning excursion absolutely enjoyable! The creative way in which the museum has been designed has an intentional flow for visitors drawing you deeper into the exhibitions. Their creative use of large scale multipurpose typographic letters, AV equipment and interesting graphics includes itself as one of the premier museums in the country.

Wow, this place is an absolute must see. A treasure grove jam packed with SA History

Beautiful and peaceful museum with alot of information that you can learn about South African history and literature.

Was there for a chess tournament..its a beautiful building...provides a journey through history which made me mourn for ancestors i don't know but are a part of me

Nice place We can get good knowledge on south African history Totally free

Beautifully laid out and designed. Lovely artefacts and interesting information. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

A brilliant and illuminating exhibition of South African literary history. The comprehensive archive is managed by experienced librarians and gives researchers access to incredible resources.

Beautiful museum which richly illustrates the history of literary work by South African and international authors about Africa. It also has interactive exhibits and an auditorium which regularly hosts playwrights and other artists as well as being a wonderful community venue. A definite must see if you in the vicinity.

Very nice place to visit especially those who loves reading.

Wow and wow high tech facility. Architectural aesthetically beautiful

The place is very beautiful in and out , first time visiting it. Our history is there.Don't think people know about it. It's situated in a corner where you can not find it.

Really interesting museum, was attending for a book launch. I plan to visit again and check out the exhibitions another time. Worth visiting.

Innovative building design, fascinating exhibitions and state of the art facilities.

It's quite an experience! A place Wirth visiting to learn more about the history of, noy only literature, but of our country.

I really was surprised at the phenomenal condition of this museum. It’s really well maintained and runs great, with captivating exhibits. Literature is of course hard to capture in a museum setting but through great graphics, awesome sculptures and innovative use of sound they’ve made it an immersive experience.

great place to be at even for pictures

Beautiful inside and out. Staff is great! Exhibition awesome. Thank you for protecting our heritage.

Well worth a visit

Very interesting museum for the word and it's aspects. Sections about children fiction, vocal stories, demonstrations and history of South Africa. There's a special section about "Exhibition'.which every museum should adapt. The treasures have self humor. I really liked "what to do with dead poets". We've been here for 4 hours and if time allowed we could stay whole day.

Wow what a wonderful museum!

Unique architecture, modern, eye catching displays, sensitive rendering of South African history in recent exhibition.

A world class museum in our home province. I had the honor of hosting my first book launch at Amazwi Museum during the National Arts Festival in 2023. The experience was very professional and all the staff members that assisted us were amazing. Pumelele Lavisa, a Research Curator at the Museum hosted the event in a warm and dignified manner.
