Namaqualand Museum Springbok

Namaqualand Museum Springbok narrates the rich history of Namaqualand, Springbok, and its inhabitants. Exhibits from 17th-century artefacts to unique items like a kokerboom wood fridge and washing machine reflect the town's diverse past. Housed in a former synagogue, the museum pays homage to Springbok's Jewish community, whose impact on local and national commerce was significant. The museum highlights the town's role as the birthplace of the widespread Lewis chain of stores, a testament to its historical economic influence.
