Natale Labia Museum is an Afrikaans-language publication tracing the history of ‘The Fort’, the Muizenberg residence of the Labia family, and its transformation into a museum and cultural centre. Compiled by Lucy Alexander and Patricia Hardy, it was published in 1988 by the Suid-Afrikaanse Nasionale Kunsmuseum (South African National Gallery), with sponsorship from Die Southern-Lewensassosiasie Beperk.
Presented in an attractive landscape format, the booklet is staple-bound in white card covers with the museum’s urn emblem printed on the front. The text is in Afrikaans throughout, and the pages are clearly laid out and easy to read.
The Natale Labia Museum, set on the False Bay coast at Muizenberg, became a satellite of the national gallery and a popular venue for exhibitions and cultural events. This publication documents the house, its history and its new public role at the time the museum opened, making it a useful record for anyone interested in the cultural history of the Cape Peninsula.
It will appeal to collectors of South African art and museum publications, readers interested in Muizenberg and Cape history, and Afrikaans readers looking for well-produced local heritage material.
Condition – Fine
Staple-bound soft cover in fine condition. The covers are clean, and light rust is beginning to show around the two staples. The pages are clean and the content is crisp and clear throughout. A very attractive copy of Natale Labia Museum.
