Gallery Mau Mau, Art museum in Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa.
Gallery Mau Mau is an art space located below the Lounge building on Long Street, featuring multiple exhibition areas dedicated to contemporary art and multimedia installations. The venue provides different zones for rotating artistic presentations and experimental formats.
The space was founded in 1996 by cultural activist David Robert Lewis and a team of artists, remaining active during South Africa's transition following apartheid. The gallery shaped artistic dialogue during this transformative period.
The gallery displays works by emerging South African artists exploring themes of identity and social transformation. Visitors encounter current artistic voices from the region and engage directly with their creations.
The gallery operates with an open-door policy for artists seeking exhibition space and maintains regular opening hours. Check current times before visiting, especially during special exhibition events.
During exhibition openings, the space offers free refreshments while DJs perform and beat poets recite their work. This lively combination creates a memorable experience beyond typical gallery visits.
