In order to protect its staff and the public as well as to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg is temporarily closed since 20 March 2020. The management of the museum is planning to re-open again after the Easter Weekend 2020 (around 14 April 2020) or until such time conditions allow to lift to re-open again. The Apartheid Museum, part of the Gold Reef City complex in Johannesburg, opened in 2001 and is acknowledged as the pre-eminent museum in the world dealing with 20th century South Africa, at the heart of which is the apartheid story.
