Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum

-
Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum was opened on 22 June 1956 as the King George VI Art Gallery. It is located in St George's Park in Port Elizabeth South Africa. It was renamed in December 2002 in honour of Nelson Mandela and in line with the name of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality of which Port Elizabeth is a part.
Venue and Collections
The art museum consists of two buildings defining the entrance to St George's Park and houses collections of South African art, with an emphasis on art of and from the Eastern Cape, as well as British art, international printmaking and Oriental art, including Indian miniatures and Chinese textiles. As well as exhibiting the Permanent Collection on rotation – given the gallery’s limited space – the museum maintains an active programme of temporary exhibitions of works traveling between the major art museums of South Africa.[1]
