Iziko Museums of South Africa
Iziko, an isiXhosa word meaning ‘hearth’, embodies the spirit of a transformed institution and our version of ‘African Museums of Excellence’. The hearth is traditionally and symbolically the social centre of the home; a place associated with warmth, kinship and the spirit of the ancestors. As such, Iziko was envisioned as a space for all South Africans to gather, nourish body and soul, and share stories and the knowledge passed from one generation to the next.
