The Stellenbosch Museum consists of various buildings spread throughout the town. This includes four period houses dating back to the 18th Century, the VOC Arsenal (Kruithuis) and the Toy and Miniature Museum. Schreuderhuis (one of the period houses) has survived several fires that have threatened the town since the 18th century. It tells the story of the fires in an exhibition that includes a period fire engine.
The People of Stellenbosch exhibition reflects on local history, and includes an archeological collection.
The museum also hosts an interesting shoe collection donated by the well-known Lubbe family.
