Unboxing the Past: How a Traveling Museum Is Bringing South Africa’s History Home
"What the museum could potentially also do is, by being brought to people, it alerts people, I think, more on how fascinating history really is, and it awakens an interest in them, which ultimately might lead to more people engaging with heritage and history, reading books, learning about our past, and I think ultimately that would foster a far greater appreciation for Africa's history than what we currently have".
#GlobalSouthPole takes us inside the "Museum in a Box" with archaeologist Professor Tim Forssman of the University of Mpumalanga, South Africa on how this portable collection of artefacts is reconnecting communities with their heritage and redefining the very idea of a museum.
Discover how a simple wooden box is unlocking Africa's ancient past, and why taking heritage directly to communities could reshape how a new generation connects with its history.
