Experience: This isn't just a visit; it's an immersive, chronological journey through apartheid. Your entry card assigns a racial classification, setting the tone.

Key Focus: Follow the literal and metaphorical Long Walk to Freedom exhibit path. Understand the brutality of the system, resistance movements, pivotal figures (Mandela, Sisulu, Biko), and the arduous transition to democracy.

Impact: Prepare for powerful multimedia, personal testimonies, artifacts (like Mandela's prison cell replica), and confronting displays on segregation laws, violence, and resilience. It's essential context for modern South Africa.
