The Sammy Marks Museum at Zwartkoppies. |
At Zwartkoppies, east of Pretoria, Marks built a mansion for himself and his family, which he named Zwartkoppies Hall. The house is surrounded by formal and informal gardens typical of the Victorian era.
The museum is unique because most of the contents originally belonged to the Marks family. In 1906 Bertha Marks drew up an inventory of the movables in each room. This inventory is used during the restoration of the furnishing of the house. If you want to know more about this magnificent place, please go ahead and experience some of the detail yourself:
