More info about Oliewenhuis Art Museum
Named for the surrounding wild olive trees, Oliewenhuis Art Museum in Bloemfontein once served as a state residence before local authorities chose to house the city’s significant art collection in a building deserving of their importance. The museum opened its doors in 1989.
The Oliewenhuis Art Museum encourages and exhibits local art including works created by the Brisley School of Art.

Over the years, the Haenggi Foundation in Switzerland has made several generous donations of South African art to the museum.

Also in the gardens is a sculpture park showcasing sculptures... Show more
