WAM makes African art a reason to linger in Braamfontein. Its changing exhibitions bring different parts of a large collection into view, ranging across media and periods. Choose the current display rather than expecting the entire collection or a particular famous work. The museum sits outside the main campus walls, making it a practical companion to nearby cultural stops.
