Red Location Museum

Red Location Museum

The international award winning Red Location Museum is named after a series of corrugated iron barracks and cottages that the majority of Port Elizabeth “Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and Chinese” were forcefully moved to in 1903. These barracks and cottages, rusted a deep red colour, were home to many political and cultural leaders and the birthplace to momentous social movements during the Apartheid era. Exhibitions at the Red Location Museum include the Hall of Columns, Prison Archives, Struggle and Music, Steve Biko, Vuyisile Mini, Langa Massacre, Archive of Memory, David Goldblatt’s Reflection on Former Anti-apartheid Activists, Forgotten Faces and many more.
