The Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Councillor Dada Morero, is proud to announce significant progress in the ongoing restoration of the Johannesburg Art Gallery (JAG), a cornerstone of the City’s cultural heritage and one of its most treasured public institutions. The planning and redesign phase of JAG, led by the Johannesburg Development Agency, has now reached an advanced stage.

As the project moves into the construction preparation phase, restoration work cannot proceed while the art collection remains inside the building. To ensure the safety, preservation, and continued accessibility of the City’s invaluable artworks during this period, three temporary relocation venues have been secured: the Johannesburg City Library, Museum Africa and the Brixton Multipurpose Facility.
