Pretoria Art Museum
A municipal art museum with works by South African artists, including important pieces by Pierneef, Irma Stern, and Gerard Sekoto.
The Pretoria Art Museum opened in 1964 in a small park in Arcadia. Its collection focuses on South African art, including works by Pierneef, Irma Stern, Gerard Sekoto, and other leading artists. It also hosts occasional special exhibitions of contemporary art. It is not large, so it is a good stop after visiting the Union Buildings, about 1.5 km away. It is closed on Mondays, and entry is very cheap.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun 10:00–17:00; closed Mondays
