Grahamstown has much to offer to the traveler as well as the largest arts festival in South Africa. One of the most interesting items is the Observatory Museum. It was built by a Victorian gentleman that had an insatiable curiosity. He incorporated into the building housing his home and jewelery business a turret looking affair that was in reality a camera obscura. It was adjustable in rotation and elevation, and projected onto a white concave disc below a perfect image of what was happening on the streets of Grahamstown. It was used by those searching for another. For a small fee they could use the camera obscura to view the streets looking for those they were in need of. Once they found them a messenger was dispensed.
