The District Six Museum is a small, fiercely personal museum built by former residents of the inner-city neighbourhood that apartheid bulldozed. It opened in 1994 in the old Central Methodist Mission church on Buitenkant Street, a building that had sheltered anti-removal meetings. The museum was founded not by the state but by former residents and activists determined that the memory would not be flattened along with the houses. It functions simultaneously as a museum, a community archive and a working part of the land restitution process. Visitors come to see the enormous hand-painted canvas floor map of the old street grid, on which returning residents have written their names on the spot where their homes stood. Above it hangs a long cloth banner of embroidered memories stitched by former residents. Along one wall stand the original enamel street signs, saved from the rubble. It is a place of memory and witness in the City Bowl.
