Among the many displays in this excellent regional museum are an exhibit charting the rise of the Boy Scout Movement and a presentation on the famous 217-day siege, with original photographs and documents, and information about the role played by the town’s black population. It occupies the former town hall, which was built in 1904.
When we visited the museum, it was closed for lengthy renovations. While it was expected that the exhibits would remain basically unchanged, the telephone number, opening hours and entry fee are likely to change; check these with the town’s information centre.
