Today MEC of Cultural Affairs
Anroux Marais will officially open the new exhibition titled, “Stellenbosch and
its people” at the Stellenbosch museum.
Spokesperson Stacey Mclean
explained the development of the residents, colonisation and the establishment
of Stellenbosch as a town forms part of the exhibition.
Exhibiting local histories is
significant in transforming museums into meaningful spaces for local residents.
Through the exhibition, local
residents will gain insight into where they come from, understand more of their
town, their identity and how the past has shaped the present.
“Local histories reflect the
lives of ordinary people and help to create a socially inclusive society Mclean
concluded.”
