    The museum is free to visit and the staff are friendly. That's unfortunately the end of it, while there are some mildly interesting things to see, many of the displays need maintenance. The entire museum can be seen in about an hour.

    The museum has many tidbits of information however the layout could be reviewed to enable smoother continuity and relation in the various displays. The presentations could be better compared with modern day experiences and this would generate a greater platform for conversation. Certain displays could be presented by audio visual means with the use of video clips. This museum has so much potential as some of the pieces are unique and truly interesting.

    The Cape Medical Museum is situated in the Old City Hospital Complex in Green Point, Cape Town, South Africa. Its exhibitions center around the medical history of the Cape and includes exhibitions on dentistry, hospital care, traditional African medicine and pharmaceutical developments.

    Amazing place. Very informative and basically a heaven for people obsessed with medical history. There are no entrance fees, only donation, so be generous because they deserve it. Also always call them before going, because I went once and they were closed (supposedly open on google maps). Otherwise, a perfect place.

    Various curiosities from medical history. The museum has several rooms of various themes, including posters of various diseases and their impact in South Africa. The only criticism is that while most objects are labelled, there are few explanations
