Half of the downstairs area is devoted to radio broadcasts in zulu during the apartheid era! The other half to how ready Durban is for the World Cup (which happened two years ago). Upstairs you can view a collection of miniature ships, and (the only thing I found worthwhile) 3 homes/shops from the early days of Durban

Need to spend a fair amount of time there to really appreciate everything that is there. I love the upstairs part (go look yourself, not giving anything away...) The curio shop part needs to keep a wider variety of gifts (like they did a couple of years ago).

As the earliest Durban building still standing, the Old Court House museum gives an interesting perspective on what early settler life was like in Durban; at one point in it's history, it was the tallest building in South Africa!
