Johannesburg Art Gallery

Municipal Gallery . Research . Education . Collection

The gallery was first established in 1910, operating from the premises of what is today's Wits University. The collection was subsequently moved to the present premises, designed by architect Edward Luytens, and completed in 1915. It is the largest gallery on the subcontinent and has an extensive collection of European, African, modern and contemporary art. It is one of the few galleries in the country with a substantial acquisitions budget, sustained by the Anglo-American Trust.
