Venue and collections
The Art Museum consists of two buildings defining the entrance to St George's Park which houses collections of South African art, with an emphasis on art of and from the Eastern Cape, as well as British art. There are also international printmaking and Oriental art, which include Indian miniatures and Chinese textiles. At the same time exhibiting the Permanent Collection on rotation – given the gallery's limited space – the museum maintains an active programme of temporary exhibitions of works travelling between the major art museums of South Africa.

Notable Contemporary Exhibitions Hosted
"In 2022, the museum hosted the 'True Pan-Africanism' exhibition by Farook Mohammed." The "True Pan Africanism" art exhibition was part of the Inaugural Nelson Mandela Bay Arts Festival in Gqeberha, South Africa, that showcased a vision of a United, borderless Africa. It featured art by Farook Mahommed and focused on themes of unity, shared identity, and a peaceful future for the continent, combining diverse cultural practices under the concept of Ubuntu (Ukhwah).
