The Museum is a 25 years old nostalgic place that “brings back memories for older visitors, who spend hours here”, says Lamees Petersen, who oversees Marketing & Educational Programs at the Stellenbosch Museum.
Among it’s treasures is the world’s smallest kitchen from the 1920s that fits into a matchbox, and the replica of the icon farmhouse in Uitkyk Wine Estate near Stellenbosch. The interior around the back of this impressive 1:12 scale model has three 19th century rooms upstairs, complete with furniture from that era. The three downstairs sections portray a main room, a voorkamer and an 18th century kitchen.
