Oliewenhuis Art Museum — Attraction in Mangaung Ward 21

Beautiful place with absolutely gorgeous art. Brought my kids with me and they had a cool scavenger hunt activity for them to do. My only complaint would be the lack of baja blast at the vending machines. My other only complaint would be the abundance of hooligans. Thugs should not have the privilege to view this divine art. If only the south africa police could control them.... also one of the thugs spit on my poor child so that's Not good. OOH yeah That reminds me they had this super cool giant toilet statue and you could climb up it and into the toilet and they had this super intricate and detailed sewage system and in the sewer they had a thug club where thugs could stay but the thugs wouldn't go there because it's hard to find, so PLEASE. add a sign that Says "Thug Club in the toilet statue sewers" at the entrance of the building...

The place is worth visiting. To appreciate the work of others and unwind outside, while enjoying the view of outside sculptures and the feeling of outdoors. The place could really use a restaurant or at least a cafe because, after exploring different parts of the museum personally I was worn out and needed a drink or something sweet to recharge.

What I've noticed about the museum is that they give people an opportunity showcase their craft, if that is not the reason then I suppose they can do better because some pieces weren't all that if you understand what I mean.

The best highlight for me was the section for blind people, yes if you have a blind friend(s) or a family member who appreciates art, then allow them to tag along!

Fyi: there are cats and the ones at the back love...

Always worth the time. A must if visting bloemfontein

Free entrance is a major plus. Nice garden to relax in with shaded areas. There are some minor hiking trails around the area that are nice. Good for a sunday lunch "break away from the city". The museum itself is roomy with different exhibitions every few months and a permanent collection upstairs. Not the largest gallery but still very nice. Expevt to see many local artists.

Nice restaurant that is currently being renovated (unsure completion date)

Also an underground reservoir that sometimes...
