Durban City Hall
A New Baroque building completed in 1910, modeled on Belfast City Hall, housing the Durban Art Gallery and the Natural History Museum.
City Hall is a landmark of the city center. Upstairs, the Durban Art Gallery holds South African contemporary art and traditional Zulu art, while the Natural History Museum displays dodo bones and African animal specimens. Both are free. Nearby are the old post office building and the courthouse museum, now a local history museum. Visit during weekday daytime, and stay alert to safety on the surrounding streets.
