Worth A Thousand Words

The Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum offers collections from both international and local artists

If you want to discover art from across the historical spectrum, a trip to the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum in the Eastern Cape is definitely an eye-opening experience.

The Museum in Port Elizabeth is home to an impressive collection, ranging from British and Oriental art, international printmaking as well as works from the local Eastern Cape. Even St George’s Park, which serves as the entrance to the museum, is a piece of art created by Mother Nature herself.

The limited exhibition space means there’s a constant rotation of artworks from the museum’s large, permanent collection—there’s always something new to see at the gallery.
