Richmond is where modern art, literature, history and fine dining combine.
Richmond is where modern art, literature, history and fine dining combine for a classic visitor experience.In the past, the town had little to offer passing motorists, except for a chance to refuel, grab a snack and continue their journeys north or south. Modern-day Richmond is worth at least two days of a traveller’s time, in terms of a range of activities, overnight stays and dining choices.
Right next door is another museum full of interesting oddments that will keep browsers occupied for hours: South African War gravestones, a relic from the old cool drink factory, cuttings about an infamous local murder, a collection of vinyl albums of popular music from 50 years ago, and an enormous whale vertebra with flensing knife and harpoon.Further on along Loop Street is the reading room for the Bookbedonnerd Literary Festival, which used to take place every October.
Nearby is the unusual and visually stunning MAPSA Gallery and book-binding centre, where a team of Richmond women produce works of art in book form, using Japanese paper-craft techniques to bind pages into books, covered in recycled flour, maize and sugar bags.
