The Irma Stern Museum turns 50 this year and in honour of its half centenary, the museum is hosting a series of exhibitions and events throughout the year. Join the celebrations by visiting the permanent exhibitions, taking part in workshops and educational programme.
The museum is located in the home of the late Irma Stern. Image: Irma Stern Museum
Stern’s permanent exhibition is hosted in her home, which includes her studio, lounge and the well-known dining room. Visitors are free to walk through the house and explore Stern’s famous portraits, and a series of biblical paintings and artefacts she collected from her widespread travels (including ancient Roman and Pre-Columbian American pieces).
The museum is a unique experience of the space Irma Stern worked and lived in. Image: Irma Stern Museum
There is also a lush garden, which you can stroll through. It’s open to all UCT students, staff and visitors. Host meetings, enjoy a picnic, linger on with a book and read under a tree or socialise.
The garden is also used as a venue for events. Image: Irma Stern Museum
The museum offers a range of tours: Pop by any time for a walk-in tour (no extra charge), or book for a kids’ or school tour, which will be conducted by an education facilitator. Or you can book a private tour of the museum tailored to your specific interests.
The private tours include a behind the scenes, The African Collection or An Evening with Irma. Image: Irma Stern Museum

The programme is aimed at school kids who are interested in visual arts, including audio and video. Image: Irma Stern Museum
