The building was opened 10 years ago and houses an extensive collection of classical South African artists, such as Irma Stern and Jacob Pierneef, as well as contemporary artists like William Kentridge.

This interview coincides with the museum’s current exhibition of the European sculptors, Antoine Bourdelle and Käthe Kollwitz, whose work was acquired by Anton and Huberte Rupert during their many trips to Europe and forms part of their extensive collection.
