The Apartheid Museum
This extraordinarily powerful museum, almost certain to become one of the city's most important tourist attractions, has become an obligatory stop for tourists and residents alike. The Museum, with its large blown-up photographs, metal cages and numerous monitors recording continuous replays of apartheid scenes set in a double volume ceiling, concrete and red brick walls and grey concrete floor, is next to the Gold Reef City Casino, five kilometres south of the city centre.
Art in the city
Johannesburg's inner city has become one large art gallery, its buildings posted with giant murals chosen from entries to a competition called the JHB Art City and a cellphone operator's art advertising campaign.
