What was the name of Nelson Mandela’s Johannesburg home that became a museum?

Nelson Mandela’s Johannesburg home that became a museum is called Mandela House.

Mandela House stands at 8115 Vilakazi Street in Soweto, where Mandela lived at different times from 1945 to 1962. The house is historically significant because it was part of the neighborhood where Mandela and his first wife, Evelyn Mase, lived, and later where he lived with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

The building was restored and opened as a museum in 1999. Its exhibits focus on Mandela’s family life, political work, and connection with Soweto. The house is also notable for being on Vilakazi Street, associated with both Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

Mandela House is sometimes confused with Liliesleaf, the Rivonia farm used by anti-apartheid activists, or Luthuli House, the ANC’s Johannesburg headquarters. Those sites have different histories and are not Mandela’s Soweto home.
