Went today, 10 Nov. It was closed. Security said has been closed long time and he didn't know when it would be open. I tried phoning before going and emailed the curator, but no one answered the phone and curator didn't return email.

The Johannesburg Art Gallery is an art gallery in Joubert Park in the central business district of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is the largest gallery on the continent. As a major focus of urban regeneration programmes, the gallery provides the base for the Joubert Park Public Art Project and is developing links with awareness groups and community centres based in the surrounding urban area. You need to be extra careful and safe around this area as it’s within a very busy and crowded place, be extra careful with your belongings and gadgets.
This gorgeous gallery made me sad. You can see that it once was iconic, but it's clearly no longer the case. Sad how such a beautiful gem lies in the heart of the city, in a part that is one of the busiest, but remains empty and cold. Looking forward to seeing what the new management revives it.
So impressed with our trip to the Johannesburg Art Gallery! All the recent renovations and maintenance to the Gallery has defiantly kept it the Historical Gallery one wants to visit! Beautiful art works on Display dating back all the way to the 1600's. Staff really went out their way to make sure our visit to JAG was enjoyed! Thank you JAG!
Entrance is free to JAG I gave it 4 stars only because of the location, alas the neighborhood can be much nicer, and the gallery can stand to have bit more pieces but that in no way means that it is not a place worth visiting for anybody who appreciates art, even a noob like me. Contains several collections, gift shop and small art corner for kids. Those are some of the pieces displayed there A definite recommendation!
Great place very big and spacious with great arty pieces on display, very organized and the best thing of all it's that it's open on Sundays and entrance is free
Wonderful quiet museum. Had a lovely time here. Get a taxi right to the front door if you are not sure where to go. The entrance is to the right side and just buzz the door to be let in. Full of great work. The area is really busy and exciting.
Inspiring,fulfilling, emotional, educational and great life experience.
