Whenever you find yourself in Port Elizabeth, with sum time to kill, please visit the Nelson Mandela Art Museum, staff are friendly, museum. Is well air conditioned. There is no cover charge. museum is very small. Collections consist of South African art (particularly that of the Eastern Cape), British art, international printmaking and Oriental art (including Indian miniatures and Chinese textiles). These are supplemented by an active programme of temporary exhibitions.

Some very profound pieces and some extraordinary talent. It is very small though and during my visit there was not much art available to be viewed. Luckily the art on display made up for the lack of quantity. I will visit the museum again next time I am here and am hoping there will be more available to be viewed. Entrance is free so worth a look.

The museum seemed a bit outdated. When we were there, half of the already kind of small museum was closed for renovations, so it was even smaller. But the entry is free, so I think it's okay. And some of the artworks were quite interesting.

Absolutely stunning. The art took my breath away. The collection had so much variety; sculpture, ceramics, photography, clothing, paintings and videos.

We had an outing with our Community Center, the kids enjoyed the workshop a lot. Teacher Amanda is awesome with the kids. Thank you for having us!
