Overview: The Phansi museum began in 2000 in the basement of Roberts House,
a fully restored Victorian National Monument in Durban, South Africa. It has since grown to host one of the biggest and most spectacular collections of Southern African artefacts in the world.
Three floors of the Victorian mansion are filled with Zulu beadwork, ear-plugs, wire baskets, head-rests, milk-pails, beer-pots, meat-platters, snuff-spoons and fertility dolls; Ndebele blankets and ceremonial items: and Tsonga Shangaan, Pedi and Xhosa artefacts. Some of the most popular exhibits are our thirty life-size marionettes, adorned with the ceremonial dress of various geographical regions of Southern Africa.
The museum coffee shop, Ikhishi, serves light lunches and fabulous coffee. The BAT Shop @ Phansi sells funky contemporary craft work.
The museum hosts regular live music and cultural events, showcasing original and creative artists and performers.
