The Margate Art Museum is situated in the heart of this popular seaside town, just over an hours’ drive from Durban. The Museum provides a window into the amazing artistic potential of the Southern African people.

The Margate Art Museum has been given the title, “the largest art museum in Kwa-Zulu Natal” and has been offering since its opening in 1994, an extensive collection local art and crafts. The diversity of the collection has been expanding rapidly and now includes some non-local art pieces as well.
