All the museums in Eshowe, but for one, are housed at the Fort Nongqayi Museum Village, around the beautiful and impressive Fort Nongqayi, originally home of the Zululand Police a hundred years ago. Today it houses the local history, natural history and ethnological collections of the Zululand Historical Museum.
Nearby is the Mission Chapel Museum, which commemorates the sterling work done by missionaries in this area of Zululand, particularly the Norwegians.
On the other side of the wide lawn and indigenous garden is the Vukani Zulu Cultural Museum, which houses an internationally recognised collection of Zulu craft and art and traces its development from functional to decorative.
Also on the property are the Phoenix Prison Art Gallery, the KZN Papermakers, Adams' Outpost Restaurant, and the Crafts of Africa Curio Shop.
There is a joint ethnographic collection, traditional medicine garden, a weaving and dyeing garden, a bird hide for the neighbouring wetlands, and a butterfly house.
