Description


Red Location Museum

The Red Location Museum is an Apartheid museum in New Brighton township of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It was designed by South African architectural partnership Noero Wolff Architects and has won a number of prestigious international architecture awards, such as the RIBA's Lubetkin Award. It was opened in 2005. Towards the end of 2013, it is reported, residents of the surrounding township forced its closure, accusing the authorities of building "a house for dead people" while they live in squalor. The residents threatened to assault visitors, and "efforts to reopen it have been met with violent protests."
