Rupert Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on Stellentia Road, the Rupert Museum feels like a wonderfully personal gift to the art world. It all began with the private collection of Anton and Huberte Rupert, whose passion for South African masters from the 20th century is now shared with everyone. You'll find yourself moving from serene, sunlit rooms filled with paintings to spaces where powerful sculptures command your attention. The whole place has this quiet, almost reverent atmosphere that makes you want to linger in front of every piece.
Collection Highlights
Look for the vibrant, expressive landscapes by Maggie Laubser and Irma Stern, which just burst with color. Then there's the monumental 'The Trio' by Moses Kottler, a stone sculpture of such raw power it stops you in your tracks. Don't miss the incredible tapestries either; they're woven with a complexity that rivals the paintings.
Visitor Information
It's an easy stroll from Stellenbosch Central, perfect for a cultured afternoon before exploring the town's famous vineyards. Just check their website for opening times before you head over.
Architecture & Building
The building is a beautiful, modern riverside facility with clean lines and lots of natural light that plays wonderfully off the art.
