Older exhibitions include the African Dinosaur. The new sea exhibition - Sentinels of the South. In the area of Social History, the way SAM has collected human stories and how are these stories shown and seeing the space taking shape.
The Art of Science is a new exhibition that reflects on its collection of science and art.
Not only is this a reflection on the past 200 years of collecting about the South African story. How has the SAM affected museum making in this country and been influenced by museums around the world.
Now it is looking into the future and about seeing things differently. This is a conscious focus - how does the museum see itself in the time pf the 4th Industrial Revolution. We can alreay see the influence in the new technologies in the Planetarium.
The South African Museum is seeing itself in the global context and how researchers and museums need to be able to engage with each other's content. As a learning institution, the museum must become one that can be interactive and enjoyed by everyone.
- Exciting times ahead! And we are grateful that Iziko South African Museum is a valuable and venerable institution, with wide open doors in Cape Town. Happy 200th and many, many more.
