Preparations for AIDS museum underway

    JOHANNESBURG

    Preparations are underway in South Africa for the establishment of the country's first HIV/AIDS museum.

    Historian and committee member, Sue Krige, told the South African Press Association that the organisers were currently in talks with international donors to secure the necessary funding.

    The museum will be located at the Chris Hani-Baragwanath hospital in Johannesburg's Soweto community, where suitable exhibits, which have been collected since March 2003, will be on display.

    Among its other functions, the museum will inform visitors about the HIV/AIDS situation not only in South Africa but from across the globe.
