Norval Foundation

This is my best museum in Cape Town, they have spared nothing in making this art gallery beautiful, informative and so interesting.

It's all about Africa, paintings, interactive, photography to sculptures!

It's a great morning out! They have a superb sculpture garden that surprises you at every corner!

We spent an hour walking around this wonderful gallery, the art is beautiful and displayed in a free flowing manner, as you walk in the lights flick on, its an excellent experience and I highly recommend you visit this on your next trip to Cape Town.

The Museum is not far from town and is not expensive (I got my annual card for less than 300R), surprisingly it wasn't too crowded for a Saturday. I enjoyed the visit but, I was expecting to see more contemporary paintings. It was still interesting to see all the sides of the museum. The part that I enjoyed the most was the garden outside with the different sculptures. It's worth it :)

As I cruise into the downstairs parking the lights turn on for me and momentarily I feel like royalty. Stepping out into the Norval Foundation is a treat. The architecture is modern and functional- being an art museum amongst other things. I love the clean lines of this building. The galleries range in size and are always filled with exciting artists. The focus being Africa. Then there’s the Skotnes Restaurant that serves up a delicious menu and while you enjoy the flavours your gaze is mostly over the wetland and indigenous gardens. Here you can wander around and view plants and installations.

Become a member and you’ll be invited to exhibition openings, musical evenings and other interesting events. It’s the place where I go alone to escape the humdrum or spend time with my family and friends.

Beautiful art gallery/museum. Arrived there when a exhibition called when rain clouds gather was on. It reminded me of my varsity days. Beautiful works on display. The highlight for me was the sculpture garden. The most beautiful was the one made out of rocks! But who am I kidding, they were all beautiful. There was even a sound installation, giving you those Rosswell vibes!

An unforgettable experience! Loved the restaurant food and setting. The gallery and sculpture garden are both foods for the soul... A breathtaking walk through the (originally) wetland garden. Highly recommended.

I love this place. It's beautiful. The walk through the sculpture garden is amazing. And the restaurant is brilliant and caters to everyone's needs (even the kids) without losing its sense of "occasion"

This is the only art gallery in Cape Town I find myself coming back to everytime they have a new exhibit. The staff is so amazing and the art is phenomenal. I love how they focus more on promoting black South africans too. The restaurant is beautiful too, the food is not too bad.
