About
It is preferable to first telephone the Old Court House Museum and speak to the Curator or a Museum Officer. You may also bring items directly to the museum's enquiry section during weekday business hours (08:30–16:00). The museum provides official documentation as a receipt for donated objects.
No, the museum does not offer valuation services to the public. Staff can recommend reputable local auction houses and antique dealers in Durban for professional appraisals.
The museum can offer guidance on salvaging water-damaged items and will connect you with appropriate resources if needed. Dealing quickly with damaged heritage objects in an appropriate manner is vital, so please contact us as soon as possible.
