Beautifully curated home and garden of a South African legend. Lovely atmosphere, special works of art by a unique and fabulously talented woman. Definitely worth a visit. Seeing Irma's studio and favourite armchair, her paintbrushes and work coat, all contributed to a memorable experience.

School field trip for Creative Arts. It was such an informative and lovely experience for the learners, most of which do not get opportunities to experience excursions. The tour was given by a well informed guide who was more than willing to answer any and all questions. The learners had an opportunity to create their own art which was spectacular.

Great museum. Beautiful house and lots of aesthetically pleasing artworks. Athi-Patra as a resident artist was phenomenal

A very special home museum of iconic artist Irma Stern. Current Georgina Gratrix exhibition The Cult of Ugliness is a brilliant tribute by a spunky artist with a wicked wit. Listen in to the Sanlam Arts Round Up today, Fri 30 September, to find out more. See news blog on mapmyway.co.za

Very friendly and informative staff at entrance door, reception and within the museum. Receptionist made us cup of tea n coffee for a reasonable price, which we sat out on the front patio to enjoy with a delicious crunchy, half way through our tour. It was so intimate to be in the artist's home, which has been kept as if she left the room yesterday. The garden too mustn't be missed. No wonder it was a great inspiration to her. The works on show cover a wide spectrum of her work, early 1920s upto a year before she died. Not too many of the very valuable ones are exhibited. There was also a supplementary exhibition of a new young artist, woven into the Irma Stern exhibition. Very thought provoking. Well worth the visit.

Irma Stern Museum is located at the UCT lower campus, but is open to not only students. Free of charge for students but adults may look into the entry prices.

Interesting fact about I.S Museum: Stern crafted works of paintings, the very last work she has done was left as incomplete as it was upon her death. The house and studio, turned into a Museum, gives an antique life feeling. Which I love.

Somewhat concerning. Worth going to. It's free and has some interesting stolen artifacts
