What people say

Laura Bornstein
"Did you know that the first ever heart transplant was performed in Cape Town by Christiaan Barnard? The Heart of Cape Town Museum takes you on a fascinating two-hour tour that explores the operating rooms where the surgery took place, the stories of the donor and recipient and the ethical implications. It can be appreciated by everyone, including those with no medical background."
Taryn Colley
