Throughout the museum find street signs, photographs, life stories of the people who lived here, and a huge map where former residents can identify the sites of their homes and record their names. Each offer startling insight into this once lively area, and while there are plans to return residents to their former homes, the colorful essence of District Six will never be the same.
