The Lindfield House Victorian Museum in Auckland Park is a beautifully preserved and unique “living museum” that offers an intimate glimpse into the Victorian era in Johannesburg. The house is painstakingly set up and curated as it would have been when an English Victorian family lived there, with the owner still residing on the property and conducting the tours.
A visit is a step back in time, where the vast collections of period furniture, clothing, gadgets, and household items are presented with an accompanying narrative on Victorian customs, manners, and societal attitudes. The museum provides a fascinating and detailed look at the domestic life and culture of the colonial elite in the early days of the City of Gold.
