The Durban University of Technology Gallery is located on the Steve Biko Campus, above the university library. Since 1982 the gallery has collected current and historical art that includes ancient and modern artifacts. The university's collection includes anonymous carvings, clay pots, beadwork, wooden and bronze sculptures, contemporary paintings, mixed media and art installations. The space is dedicated to displaying visual arts. It serves as a support to the Art and Design Departments in the Faculty of Arts. The DUT Gallery is the University's cultural base dedicated to collecting, documenting and conserving art. The collection has become an historical reference that encompasses cultural diversity whilst encouraging continuity in research, teaching and promotion of the visual arts within the student body and society at large.
