The Old Harbour Museum is situated on the coast, in the heart of Hermanus. The town originally developed around this harbour from around the middle of the nineteenth century when plentiful fish and fresh water was found in the area. The Fishermen’s Village section of the museum is situated above the old harbour across from Market Square.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.old-harbour-museum.co.za/ )〕 ==History== The old harbour was declared a national monument in 1970 and is presently a Provincial Heritage Site. This unique site was proclaimed a province-aided museum 2 years later and the board of trustees endeavoured to conserve the area and develop displays in rebuilt old fishing shacks that depict the history of fishing and marine life in Hermanus. In 1983 the board of trustees, through fundraising by the Friends of the Old Harbour Museum, bought the Fishermen’s Village in the centre of Hermanus, opposite the old harbour and reconstructed the de Wet’s Sunday school house that now contains a collection of photographs of old Hermanus. In 1998 a whale house was completed across from this museum and the first phase, ‘Welcome to our whale world’ exhibition in the 3 official languages of the Western Cape was installed by 2007. These three museums are open to visitors seven days a week and the market can operate Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, weather permitting. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Old Harbour Museum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
