I mentioned in my last post this is a young museum - only 13 years old! There is a permanent art collection which is rearranged on a regular basis and is devoted exclusively to South African artists. A large number of these works have been donated or left to the museum as part of an inheritance. They do not charge an entrance fee, and have a fabulous restaurant in the gardens which caters for all sorts of tastes! I had the most stunning omelette for breakfast, with all the bells and whistles. Really tasty and quite reasonable!

I found this one interesting, although strange - it's called "African Headrest"!

Ummm .. weird - not my 'cup of tea' - although interesting! The three ladies look like the Tellytubbies (or have I been looking after littlies too long?!)
For a very large selection of works at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum I refer you to this link with all the artists' name and sub-links:

You can even look at the whole catalogue in PDF format of a large donation made in 2007!
Thanks

This sounds, and looks, like a very interesting place - I wish I could visit there!
