Anglo-Boer War Museum

General information

The Museum’s Vision:
To be an institution of excellence whereby the inclusivity and suffering of all communities during the Anglo-Boer War are depicted, thus propagating the message that negotiation is preferable to war.

The War Museum in Bloemfontein not only provides the visitor with insight into the Anglo- Boer War through its unique art collection, dioramas and exhibits but also brings the visitor closer to understanding the background against which the war took place. The course and development of the war unfolds as you progress through the museum. Visitors are also afforded a glimpse into the life in the concentration and also prisoner-of-war camps.

The Museum is now fully wheelchair accessible as we have installed lifts in the museum. There is information about each of our hall exhibitions in braille as well.
