Chavonnes Battery Museum

The Chavonnes Battery is a Visitor Attraction about the early history of Cape Town, it includes:
Heritage site / museum,
International Contemporary Art exhibitions,
We offer Guided Tours of the museum,
and the official V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour,
The exquisite site is suited to presentations, meetings and "Old Cape" themed dinners.

Visitors are invited to don an 18th Century tricorn hat and step below sea-level for a fascinating and informative perspective of the 17th and 18th Century Cape Town.

All our guides dress in period costume of a VOC soldier and the museum is the only place you can touch the sand of the original Cape Town shoreline that has been buried for 300 years. We are directly opposite the Robben Island ferry departure, perfect for a visit before or after.

We are committed to being a thriving learning organisation working with passion and pride to deliver a world class experience of the history of Cape Town and all our income and profit is invested in our social cause (youth development).

Open 7 days a week - 9am - 4pm - Guided Tours available daily.
