Van Wouw Museum, Art museum in Brooklyn, South Africa.
The Van Wouw Museum contains a collection of sculptures and artworks created by South African sculptor Anton van Wouw in a face brick building with wooden frames.
The property, purchased by Anton van Wouw in 1937, transformed into a museum in 1974 when the University of Pretoria acquired the building to preserve his artistic legacy.
The museum exhibits sculptures depicting indigenous South African people through various artistic techniques, reflecting the diversity of local life during Van Wouw's era.
The museum building now functions as the Tangible Heritage Conservation Studio, where students learn preservation methods for historical and artistic objects.
Dutch-born sculptor Anton van Wouw used this residence as both his living space and creative studio, incorporating gardens and an ornamental pool into the property design.
