Museum Africa has been in a slow decline over the last few decades. One by one qualified employees have left and not been replaced, security breaches have occurred with valuable items stolen, maintenance on the building has fallen behind etc. Many people believe that the museum is an embarassment to the City of Johannesburg. In an ideal world it should be one of the major attractions of the city that almost every tourist has to see. Alas this is not the case. Please add background and updates in the comments section below.
