NMMM ART MUSEUM EXHIBITION OPENING: 60 BENEFACTORS

60th celebration series is titled 60 Benefactors

The Art Museum has been part of the community of Nelson Mandela Bay for 59 years and next year we mark our 60th anniversary on 22 June 2016.  To commemorate this momentous milestone the Art Museum is launching a series of exhibitions which will culminate in a final exhibition opening on the museum’s anniversary. 

The next exhibition in the 60th celebration series is titled 60 Benefactors and opens on the 11 November 2015 at 17h30.  The exhibition pays tribute to important members of the community, community organisations and art collectors who have donated significant works and expertise to help build the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan Art Museum collection.

The planned exhibitions will explore the history of the museum’s extensive collection while paying tribute to the community of Nelson Mandela Bay who have supported us throughout our 60 years.

The Art Museum currently has a collection of over 6000 artworks which are accessible to the general public through exhibitions and a new website.
