The museum houses the second largest collection of mammals in South Africa{{citation needed|date=May 2015}} and includes the taxidermied body of Huberta, the hippopotamus.[1] The Xhosa Gallery, housed in the old post office building, concentrates on the cultural history of all tribes of the Xhosa nation. The history section has artefacts, documents and photographs of local interest dating back to the 19th century. The Missionary Museum contains information on missionary endeavours in this area. The museum was founded in 1884[2] and was later opened to the public in October 1898.[2] The name of the museum was changed from the Kaffrarian Museum to the Amathole Museum in 1999.[3] References1. ^{{cite web| title =Aardvarks, hippos, British settlers and Pondo pipes: Amathole Museum| url =http://www.southafrica.net/za/en/articles/entry/article-southafrica.net-amathole-museum| website =www.southafrica.net| date = | accessdate =16 May 2015 }} 2. ^{{cite web| title =Amthole Museums| url =http://www.heritageportal.co.za/organisation/amathole-museums| website =www.heritageportal.co.za| date =| accessdate =16 May 2015| archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20150501163257/http://heritageportal.co.za/organisation/amathole-museums| archive-date =2015-05-01| dead-url =yes| df =}} 3. ^1 {{cite web| title =Official website| url =http://www.museum.za.net/| website =www.museum.za.net| date = | accessdate =16 May 2015 }} External links
