The Slave Lodge is one of the oldest buildings in Cape Town. It has answered to many names over the last three centuries, namely the Slave Lodge, Government Offices Building, Old Supreme Court, and South African Cultural History Museum. All these names reflect the long and rich history of the building.

Exhibitions on the lower-level of this museum explore the long history of slavery in South Africa addressing issues focused on human rights awareness.
