Welcome
Africa's First
Living Museum
18 Gangster Museum is the first of its kind in Africa. This innovative living museum aims to help South African youth to better understand the treacherous path that too many in their communities take into gangsterism and, ultimately, prison.
Our installations are curated by ex-offenders who share their real-life experiences of gangsterism and prison — and how they turned their lives around. A replica prison cell, immersive photography, and raw storytelling make this unlike anything else on the continent.
Every tour ticket enables one local school child to visit the museum for free.
