You are invited to our next tour to the restored JOHANNESBURG ART GALLERY on Monday July 18. Unfortunately it is on a Monday as on Saturdays there is no staff available and on Mondays museums are closed to the public. However the curator Ms Antoinette Murdoch arranged a special tour for us and we have the whole building to ourselves from basement to roof top. This beautiful building designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1915 has undergone tremendous restoration recently and the curator, restoration architect and a specialist will take us on this tour.

Your restoration guide, Roel Jansen, will explain what difficulties were encountered and how they were overcome. The restoration architect, Engela White, who was the captain throughout this sometimes stormy cruise will tell us more about the philosophy of restoration.

Book with Janine van der Merwe 082 458 2623 janine@shibbolet.co.za before July 14. R50.00pp. Own transport.
