On Heritage Day, Wits will open the doors of all its museums in Braamfontein and Parktown to the public at no cost. This is an opportunity for the people of Joburg to realise their heritage, but also to claim Wits as their own.

Members of the public are invited to explore Wits’ museums on Heritage Day. There is much to choose from, and visitors are encouraged to make a day of it. The following museums, and others will be open: the Origins Centre; the Wits Art Museum; the Planetarium; the Adler Museum of Medicine (Parktown); the Bleloch Geological Museum; the Life Sciences Museum and Biodiversity Centre and the James Kitching Gallery.

Campus Tours, a music concert, drumming and eats will be on offer

Tours of the campus will be conducted at 10:00, 12:00 and 14:00. Guests are required to meet in front of the Great Hall 15 minutes prior to the start of each tour. The Wits International Office will also conduct a drumming session at the Amphitheatre in front of the Swimming Pool from 14:30 to 16:00. A music concert will take place on the Library Lawns at lunch time and eats and treats will be on sale.
