The unusual mud styled facade faces Jan Smuts and behind its tall gate is a treasure trove of most beautiful things. Kim, a really brilliant ceramicist, has curated the very best crafts available in South Africa. My suggestion is to set aside at least an hour to fully appreciate all the items in the various rooms, amazing fabrics from Africa, stunning contemporary and ethnic jewellery (look out for the loom made Marigold beads) to ceramics of all kinds. Highly recommend a visit!

3. Art Eye Gallery

Art Eye Gallery and Studio situated in Fourways, Lonehill and is a collaborative space that perpetuates free expression and community. Art Eye has directed its focus on being a platform for great expression and story telling. Our artists are not only dedicated to their individual practices but express narratives that are directly focused on what it means to live in Africa today.

How refreshing to see a collection of really amazing established and emerging artists all on display in one dynamic space! The rejuvenation of the area is palatable in the outstanding space!

My favourite thing to do once a month on a Saturday is to visit the Keyes art mile and see what is happening at all the galleries, Everard Read being the oldest of these and also one of my favourites. All of the galleries in this node are very small, but you could easily spend a morning walking from one to the other and stopping for a bite to eat at one of the trendy restaurants along the way. Their exhibitions usually feature local & contemporary artists that are always thought provoking and of excellent world class quality regardless of medium.

Alice Art Gallery is much more than just an art gallery, it is a feel good place, where you can relax and forget about your daily cares, while enjoying a cup of tea in our wonder world, the maize in the garden, Cafè d' Art and a Shop called Alice. We believe our customers are drawn to the gallery for its large variety of art displayed. The gallery has recently expanded to over 1000 sqm wall to wall art.

9. Kromdraai Gold Mine
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
Walk straight into a dark tunnel in the side of the hill, along where coco-pan tracks once lay. Learn about traditional mining methods and experience the working conditions that miners endured all those years ago. See how the mine has become home to bats and other critters as you make your way through ancient tunnels into the heart of the hill. A quirky and unforgettable experience that you wont find in a brochure. Adventure awaits. Closed on Mondays - Tuesday to Friday trips are by appointment only.

Interesting tour into one of the oldest mines of Joburg. The owner/guide is so passionate about what he is doing. Very lovely. His office is literally a museum and there also is a small art gallery. Had a great time!
