Hi guys

I went to the Cradle of Human-Kind Museum in Sterkfontein, for a case study for my degree... and was pleasantly surprised by how cool the building is. It's really sad that it is not more advertised; we had no clue as to what the building looked like. Here are some pics taken by me and my friend Nicolette Garrett, another 1st year Archi student. Hope ya like 'em :)

Yes it is... it's actually right near the sterkfontein caves. Sorry, can't remember the road name, but on the way to the caves you'll see signs for a place named Maropeng (that's what the museum is called), and just before the caves you take a left turn (if you're coming from Florida), and it's right there. Hope that helps :)

Thanx next time I go to Pecan wood I will pop by
