The Middelburg Cultural and Historical Museum is located in an old Victorian building on the corner of Bennie and Du Plessis Streets. This building was originally the home of the Poor School. The school was opened in 1898, for the children of the poor, and operated until 1914. The museum was established here in 1985.

The Middelburg Museum displays the history of the Karoo town of Middelburg and surrounding areas. It  houses interesting collections of memorabilia and items of history from stone age to present day. Exhibits housed at the Middelburg Cultural History Museum include various displays on the Anglo-Boer War, century-old Xhosa beadwork, San artefacts and a number of pieces by renowned aviation artist Tiro Vorster.
