The Museum, that tells the story of the French Huguenots who arrived at the Cape in 1688, challenges you to think in a different way about colonial history and the current global refugee phenomenon. Explore how issues of power, religion, freedom and legend-making contributed to shaping the story of South Africa. Enjoy the beautiful gardens of the museum.
The First South African Perfume Museum is a sensory voyage through fragrance history—showcasing rare antique perfume artefacts, delivering engaging storytelling, and offering immersive workshops. It’s not just about admiring beautiful bottles; it’s about understanding the evolution of scent, creating your own fragrance, and celebrating perfumery’s cultural and entrepreneurial legacy in South Africa and beyond.
The mission of this Museum, founded by the Kumanov family, is to serve as a bridge between the rich heritage of the perfume world—embodied in its extensive, often antique, collection—and the unique, personal experience of each visitor. The museum is located om the Huguenot Memorial Museum grounds. For more information,” Email: info@kumanovperfumery.com
