The Durban Art Gallery, now over a century old, is located in the Durban CBD, sharing part of an historical building, which includes the Durban Library, a natural history museum and the Council chambers.

The Gallery has a comprehensive collection of artworks from Europe, the East and Africa, dating back to the 15th century. The Gallery constantly rotates displays from its permanent collection, interspersing them with traveling exhibitions of contemporary and historic images and artifacts.
