Historically a pantry, prison, military base and leper colony among other things, today Robben Island ("seal island") is a living museum and world heritage site.

Robben Island Museum established in 1997 is a declared cultural institution reporting to the South African Minister of Arts and Culture. Robben Island Museum tours of the island are conducted via the Nelson Mandela Gateway ferry terminal in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront next to the V&A Waterfront clock tower. The old Robben Island Embarkation Building is a separate Robben Island Museum exhibition site situated on Jetty 1 in the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, diagonally opposite the Nelson Mandela Gateway building and the V&A Waterfront clock tower.
