National Museum Bloemfontein
The National Museum in Bloemfontein goes back to the 1870s when its collections and exhibitions were mostly of international rarities. It was founded on July 20, 1877, and opened to the public on May 20, 1878. The then-Free State Volksraad made the historic Raadsaal building accessible for housing the Museum collections. In 1913, a new museum building was erected, and the museum officially opened in 1915. Since 1881, the museum has been primarily supported by the government. Its holdings gradually evolved to include a wide range of natural and human scientific artifacts through gifts, sales, and exchange agreements
