A tribute to Chief Albert John Mvumbi Luthuli – president of the African National Congress (ANC) from 1952 and Africa’s first recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace (1960) for his efforts to end apartheid in South Africa – the museum is located in Luthuli’s house, where he lived all his life and which was his ‘site of struggle’. Luthuli met with former US senator Robert Kennedy here in 1966. The house is surrounded by gardens and hosts changing exhibitions.
Luthuli died in 1967 in suspicious circumstances.
