William Humphreys Art Gallery

Our History

With other public buildings in the Oppenheimer Gardens in Kimberley’s Civic Centre, the William Humphreys Art Gallery epitomizes the post-war renaissance of the city after a period of virtual stagnation. In it have been brought together works of art and antique furniture of a standard and diversity which surprises and impresses those who see them for the first time.

How, they wonder, does a collection of this calibre come to exist in a comparatively small mining city as Kimberley, situated as it is so far from the artistic hub of the country?
