Website offers virtual tour, and has incredible information and photos

Following the latest developments regarding the coronavirus pandemic, the Afrikaans Language Museum in Paarl and the Afrikaans Language Monument on Paarl Mountain confirm that both institutions are closed to visitors from 28 June to 26 July 2021. In response to the state president’s speech on 11 July 2021 and the latest government directives, we have adopted the following measures:

– The monument and museum are closed to visitors and all public programmes during this period are cancelled.
– Our staff will be on duty as far as possible, and will be available via email and social networks to handle inquiries and urgent issues. All our facilities have effective soaps/disinfectants, and protective clothing will be issued to employees. All Covid-19 protocols are followed.

Our website – www.taalmonument.co.za – has a virtual tour of both the monument and museum, extensive information in six languages as well as dozens of links to interesting articles on Afrikaans, multilingualism and the monument’s past and future.

The safety and health of our staff and the community remain our priority.

For the latest information, please see www.taalmonument.co.za or our Facebook page, or contact us on 021 863 0543 or admin@taalmuseum.co.za.
