Pretoria Art Museum, Art museum in Arcadia, Pretoria, South Africa.

The Pretoria Art Museum is a concrete-and-glass gallery in Arcadia Park, occupying a full city block between Park, Wessels, Schoeman and Johann Streets. Its International Style building, begun in 1962 and opened in 1964, was designed by the firms Burg, Lodge and Burg and W.G. McIntosh, with J. Zylstra as builder. Exhibition space was added in 1975 between the entrance and the East Gallery, and an image garden was later added.

The city council decided in 1954 to build a home for its art collection, begun in the 1930s and boosted by Lady Michaelis's 1932 bequest of 17th-century North Dutch works. Construction started on 26 January 1962; the concrete and glass building cost R400,000 and opened on 20 May 1964. Dr Albert Werth served as director until 1991.

The museum's name comes from the Pretoria City Council collection it was built to house. Since the mid-1990s it has hosted the New Signatures competition, and after sculptor Lucas Sithole died in 1994 half of his unfinished work came to the museum through the Haenggi Foundation, documented by art historian Elza Miles.

The museum occupies a full city block in Arcadia Park, bounded by Park, Wessels, Schoeman and Johann Streets, so it can be entered from more than one side. The building dates from 1962–64 and was upgraded in 1988 and 1999; check current opening arrangements before travelling, as they are not fixed in the sources.

The museum's sculpture garden was added as part of the building's later upgrades, and the site also holds a collection of Lucas Sithole's unfinished work: half of it was donated by the Haenggi Foundation after the sculptor's death in 1994, documented by art historian Elza Miles. Since the mid-1990s the New Signatures competition has been held here.
