Nelson Mandela has been central to every stage of South Africa’s epic struggle against apartheid – from formulating a new approach in the 1940s to leading the mass struggles of the 1950s, from the formation of Umkhonto weSizwe in the early 1960s to imprisonment for 27 years. He initiated and led negotiations in the 1990s, and served as the first President of a democratic South Africa, building a new nation from the fragments of conflict.

(FILES) A picture taken on September 5, 1990 shows anti-apartheid leader and African National Congress (ANC) member Nelson Mandela raising fist while addressing in Tokoza a crowd of residents from the Phola park squatter camp during his tour of townships. A new collection of Nelson Mandela's private papers reveals his years of heartache at missing his family while in prison and his wariness at becoming idolised, in excerpts published on October 10, 2010. The book "Conversations with Myself" goes on sale Tuesday, but passages printed in British and South African papers show his thoughts on everything from the danger of corruption in power to his personal grief at the death of his son.

Mandela’s life is explored through six themes – character, comrade, leader, prisoner, negotiator and statesman. In each theme, the narrative is presented through dramatically visual wall displays, supported by films, books and photographs.
