Bartolomeu Dias Museum Complex launches new logo!

The Bartolomeu Dias Museum Complex in Mossel Bay, South Africa has just launched a new logo and colour brochures with slogan. The Museum Complex with its four Museums, several National Monuments and interesting displays is the historical capital of the Garden Route in the Western Cape Province and receives over 250 000 visitors per year. The new slogan, "...the place where cultures meet!" focuses on the cultural aspect and the meeting place of the indigenous Khoi-Khoi tribe and Bartolomeu Dias (the Portuguese explorer who was the first European to round the tip of Africa and set foot on South African soil here in 1488). This is when Christianity was introduced to Africa.
