We were greeted by a very warm friendly curator, watched a wonderful film on some of Walter's life. We then saw an excellent collection of his works on 2 floors of what was the family hotel. This museum with gift Shop is the highlight of Somerset East and well worth the visit.. absolute gem.

The Tatham Art Gallery is one of the major art museums in South Africa. This art museum is funded by the Msunduzi Municipality and belongs to the residents of Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal. The Tatham Art Gallery serves the Msunduzi region through the Visual Arts. A major function of the Tatham Art Gallery, established in 1903, is to display art. This is accomplished through the hosting of a range of art exhibitions. These include travelling and researched exhibitions as well as exhibitions initiated by the Gallery, and based on art works in the permanent collection.
When you enter the building, there's a warm welcoming atmosphere. The works of art are extremely beautiful and amazing. The sculptures are well made and makes you realize how well crafted they are. There is a coffee shop where you can sit and enjoy a meal, while taking a break. There's lots to see. You will truly enjoy your visit, just as I did. I've been to the Gallery about 4 times already.

We looked up places to visit and enjoyed going round the museum especially the film of William Kentridge which is very powerful. The sculptures in the garden are amazing and it’s free entry.

Fine and interesting examples of paintings and decorative arts of special relevance to the Cape are to be found in the William Fehr Collection. William Fehr acquired objects and art works at a time when there were still few private collectors and little systematic collecting by local public institutions. He lent his collection for public exhibition at the Castle in 1952. In 1964 the South African government purchased his oil paintings, furniture, ceramics metal and glassware. In the following year he donated his unique collection of art works on paper to South Africans, to be placed in Rust en Vreugd, a short distance away from the Castle.

We are also home to a vast array of palaeoanthropological, archaeological and genetic materials charting the origins of humankind.

We headed here, directly from arriving in Durban on an early Sunday morning. Interesting small town, breakfast was taken at the local new mall(safe to park) and then we drove to the fort. Very friendly welcome which then turned into a personal tour of the museum, chapel and fort, thank you. So much historic information here, the Norwegian influence, the Zulu chieftain's and of course the relationship between the British and Zulu homeland. An excellent craft/culture centre of which the lady provided so much very interesting culture with passion, a true delight. Toilet facilities, good cafe/shop and a save heaven to explore. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the small fee.
