Overview

Since opening in 1994 the diversity in exhibitions from both local and non-local artists has expanded rapidly. Majority of the works on display were produced in KwaZulu Natal, reflecting the variety in culture and artistic range of the region. There is a school corner which consists of works created by learners at local schools.[1]

Touring art and craft exhibitions are regularly hosted by the Margate Art Museum, but it also has an extensive collection of local arts and crafts. The museum provides a window into the amazing artistic potential of the Southern African people.[2]
