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 vi

sitor 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. This page is only for marketing events of the Museum and other Museum related posts. Any questions or queries regarding the war can be sent to the museum via email at [email protected]. No discussions will be allowed on the page and will be deleted if it occurs.

Op 'n lekker bibber-koel wintersoggend op 6 Junie het twee van die Museum se navorsers Dr Vicky Heunis en Dané Swanepoel praatjies gelewer by die Eeufees-gedenkgeleentheid ter nagedagtenis aan Emily Hobhouse by die Karoo Artist’s Café in Philippolis.

Baie dankie aan almal wat die geleentheid bygewoon het en vir die gasvryheid van Juliette Whelpton wat hierdie spesiale dag gereël het.
