The Johannesburg Art Gallery (JAG) remains one of the most significant cultural institutions in the City, housing a collection of both national and international importance. As custodians of this treasured heritage, the City of Johannesburg is committed to safeguarding the collection while advancing the restoration of the gallery itself for the benefit of future generations.

In line with the City’s financial regulations under the Generally Recognised Accounting Practice (GRAP) and the Municipal Finance Management Act (MFMA), the JAG collection will be retained within the municipal boundaries of Johannesburg. This ensures compliance with legislation while preserving the City’s custodianship of its cultural assets.
