"The Iziko South African Museum, home to thousands of interesting artifacts, is a retrophiliac's nirvana. As the national museum of the country, this grand and established space features fossils, stone tools, traditional clothes, and other items, some of which are almost 700 million years old. (The museum has been in the old monumental building since 1897, so it has a deep past itself.) Pick what you're most interested in—fossils? Traditional clothing?—and beeline for that area." - Mary Holland
