Van Wouw Museum, Art museum in Brooklyn, South Africa.

The Van Wouw Museum is an art museum in Brooklyn that displays sculptures and works by South African sculptor Anton van Wouw housed in a red brick building with wooden frames. The collection features multiple artistic techniques and presents a comprehensive overview of the artist's career.

The property was purchased in 1937 by the Dutch-born sculptor as his personal residence and working studio. In 1974 the University of Pretoria acquired it to preserve his artistic output and open it to visitors.

The sculptures in this museum portray people from different groups in South Africa, showing how a 20th century artist saw and represented the society around him. Walking through the collection, you notice how each piece reflects the diversity of daily life that existed during that period.

The house stands on the corner of Clark and Rupert Streets in Brooklyn, Pretoria. The building is used by the University of Pretoria as a conservation studio, so interior access is limited; the face-brick exterior, thatch roof and wooden shutters can be seen from the street. The ornamental pool and garden remain part of the property.

The artist designed the entire property as an artistic space, blending his workspace with a garden and ornamental pool as part of his creative environment. Today the building also serves as a conservation training studio where students learn methods for restoring and maintaining historical and artistic objects.
