Housing an excellent connection, William Humphreys has wide variety of works across a wide spectrum. In particular I was fascinated and pleased to see the art work done by inmates in local prisons.
This was an unexpected treat, given the dilapidated state of the entire city. I was surprised that such a scruffy town could still contain such a precious gem. WHAG contains an impressive collection of classical, historic and contemporary South African art. Entrance was free, but no photography was allowed. It would have been great if the gallery shop sold a book containing highlights from the collection, since little information about the artworks are provided and visitors aren't allowed to take pictures. Furthermore, it would have been lovely to support the gallery through an operationsl tea garden. WHAG is a must for any art-lover somehow finding themselves in this odd town.
Our second visit to this magnificent museum. Managed by the most wonderful, caring and passionate staff, they were extremely welcoming and happy to see us and made our visit even more special. Unfortunately the fabulous tea room did not survive COVID , so no delicious tea and scones. Still an extensive and exciting art collection well laid out and a pleasure to visit. Please people visit this wonderful museum, they need our support! Unfortunately no photos inside, but some lovely art work outside. Come artists and art lovers you must visit!!!
How anyone can give this gallery less than five stars is insane. You will be hard pressed to find a gallery in the whole of South Africa with such an incredible display of art, with a token cost of R5 to get in. There are pieces from all era’s and some really significant artists’ works are on display. Highly recommended.
Contemporary art and Dutch masters in the middle of the most desolate place in South Africa. It was like finding water. A half day is needed to appreciate the permanent collection and the changing African artists. The film center and community focus makes this a very avant-garde program in a very modern facility. The lack of commercial input gives a purest perspective on the experience. No distraction from the art. The programming and facilities should be international examples for what is possible in areas where industry or nature have not already created incentives for tourism.
Good place to view local international and contemporary art. They have a place for the kids to colour stuff. I loved the “dog of war“. The staff there is awesome.
One of my favourite places to visit.
What a great experience. I am not a art critique, but I can appreciate the effort that was put into the gallery to keep it neat and interesting. Up to date with new artists work.
I love this place. Such a wide variety of works across a wide spectrum. A real island of peace and quiet in the city. Really worth the visit.
Beautiful collection of well kept and curated art. Amazing staff, kind. Caring and considerate. I arrived at closing time out of town visitor and they allowed me in! Thanks so much! It means the world.
