Best places: Museums in Knysna, South Africa

Railway gallery with 13 steam locomotives & vintage automobiles on display, plus a coffee shop.

Spacious industrial-style gallery with a nostalgic display of antique motorcycles & memorabilia.

Maritime site with a life-sized model of the namesake explorer's sailing vessel & an aquarium.

Local history museum featuring exhibits on the ostrich trade & Victorian & early 20th-century life.

👍👍 This museum should be in a museum. You don't get many spaces like this anymore. Everything is so 70's retro. The best bit is the mannequins - hilarious! The history itself is interesting because it looks at events often neglected by the current regime. Very interesting for the historically inclined.

👍👍 FANTASTIC Collection of vintage cars!! So sad to see 2 beauts that were destroyed in the knysna fires😪 Lovely coffee shop on the premises called Aweh Brew👌🏻

👍👍 The uncle who works there who handles everything is the most pleasant person I've ever met, he showed us everything nicely and explained. It is a beautiful church.

Hands-on experiences with small sharks & tanks exhibiting an octopus & other marine life.

👍👍 One of the best preserved museums in herritage sites ive come accross. No entry fee is required and they have a very rich history of the town of Knysna. A must see when you visit.
