Maropeng is the new visitor centre at the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in Magaliesberg, around 45 minutes from Johannesburg. A complex of limestone caves, including the Sterkfontein Caves, and interactive sensory displays present the history of humanity.
The building is designed to look like an ancient burial mound from the front, while the back is thoroughly modern and symbolises man's journey through the ages.
