Oliewenhuis Art Museum is still a relatively young museum even by South African standards. Being only 13 years old, the Museum has shown a steady and interesting growth in its collection.
The permanent collection, which is frequently rearranged, is housed on the first floor and is devoted exclusively to works produced by South African artists.
It has a solid foundation of early South African artists, and includes works by Thomas Baines, Jan Ernst Volschenk, Pieter Wenning, Jacob Hendrik Pierneef and Willem Coetzer. The Museum is still in the fortunate position to be able to continually expand on its collection of contemporary South African artists.
Opening hours:
Monday to Friday: 08:00 to 17:00
Saturday: 10:00 to 17:00
Sunday: 13:00 to 17:00
