A Case Study of Constitution Hill

This report analyses the role of museums in promoting national unity, stability and reconciliation in post-conflict society, looking specifically at Constitution Hill in the post-Apartheid South African context. It will be shown that Constitution Hill can, if created to meet the needs of the community within which it finds itself, achieve its potential as a vehicle for civic engagement and reconciliation.
