Museum famous for its strange camera oscura, a 360-degree rotating optical system that provides a panoramic view of the city.

The real, great diamond adventure in South Africa starts here, in the jewellery shop of Henry Carter Galpin. It was then in 1867 that Doctor William Atherstone authenticated the brilliant stone sent from Griqualand: a diamond. But did you know that? The main attraction of this museum is on the roof. It is the strange camera oscura , or dark room, an optical system that rotates 360 degrees and provides a panoramic view of the city. The museum then lives up to its name: Observatory.
