A museum showing the history of Polokwane through more than 23000 photographs and glass negatives taken between 1892 and 1945 by
Hugh Exton — a famous local photographer.
It housed in a renovated, Dutch reformed church from the 1890's, with the old Cape Dutch exterior look.
Most are in black and white and were taken using some of the earliest photography technology, a few of which are on display at the museum.
In them are Polokwane's past buildings, landscapes, architecture, clothing, and people of all races and status.
