Our Permanent Exhibition
Holocaust & Genocide in the 20th Century
This uniquely curated exhibition explores the history of the Holocaust and genocide in the 20th century through a thematic lens. Visitors explore history and moral choices through the personal voices of various role players – victims, perpetrators, resisters, rescuers, bystanders and others. The exhibition urges visitors to reflect on lessons from these histories and apply them to their own lives.

More Important Than Life:
The Hidden Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto
14 August - 30 October 2025
More Important Than Life explores some of the artefacts and documents collected in the Warsaw Ghetto by the Oneg Shabbat, a collective of academics, writers, and activists led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who worked secretly to document the mass murder of European Jews as it was happening.
The 1990s - Years of Transition
South Africa, Rwanda, Bosnia & Herzegovina
Until end-September 2025
The end of the cold war sparked a pivotal shift in global politics in the early 1990s. For three countries, South Africa, Rwanda, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, the 1990s saw major events that would define their future. This exhibition explores the lead up and aftermath of genocide in Rwanda and Srebrenica, as well as South Africa’s journey to democracy, offering us a chance to reflect three decades later.
