Military museum - Situated at the top of the 200-acre site that consists largely of the Johannesburg Zoo and Zoo Lake, the Museum was opened in 1947 by the Prime Minister, Field Marshall Jan Smuts, with the following words: "We are gathered here today to open what may not unfairly be looked upon as a memorial to the greatest united effort our country has ever been called upon to produce [participation in World War 2]. Memorials, of course, have more than one use. They serve to remind us of what is the past, of great deeds of heroism and sacrifice; they also serve as a pointer, and sometimes as a warning, to the future."
