It’s in Gleenwood Durban that we find the home of renowned Architect Paul Mikula. With a deep appreciation for South African history and culture, Paul is the managing trustee of The Phansi uBuntu-art Museum. A space that has humble beginnings, initially housing only a small, personal selection of craftwork, but has grown in recent years to boast a large collection of artefacts including Zulu beadwork from the 19th Century, earplugs, wire baskets, milk pails, beer pots and dolls.
Situated inside a Victorian styled home where Esther Roberts, one of the first female social anthropologists once lived, The Phansi Ubuntu Art Museum is a tribute to South African heritage.
