Free Entrance to Iziko Museums During Heritage Week
Entrance to all Iziko Museums in Cape Town will be free on Heritage Day and the rest of Heritage Week 2016
This Heritage Day, Iziko Museums are offering a bountiful programme of events, all proudly homegrown. To further commemorate the occasion, entrance to all Iziko Museums will be free to the public for their annual in_Herit Festival from 19 to 25 September, 2016.
