National Gallery of Zimbabwe

Se nices pieces of modern art enormous space Very friendly staff 15 US$ entrance fee is a lot

Nice little gallery, there were many special exhibitions going on! Really liked it. You enter and buy ticket from the souvenir shop, which costs US$15. Avoid the toilets if you can - not clean and no running water.

We really enjoyed our visit to the National Gallery and will return for the next exhibition. It's a nice space and kid friendly. We went on the weekend and we saw some children taken part in art class upstairs. Unlike many museums, it actually feels like people/artists come here to socialize -- it has a feeling of community. I was expecting lots of sculpture (and there is a sculpture garden) and was really pleasantly surprised with the paintings and installations. Plenty of parking outside and small gift shop and cafe inside. Well worth a visit.

Nothing more than a setup to fleece tourists. Beware, they WILL rip you off here. We were told at reception that the gallery was free to view and asked us to donate something if we felt like it. We put a donation in the box, not a problem. Halfway round we started getting hassled by some random man, telling us we had to pay to see the art. It turned out he worked in the gift shop and tried to charge us $15 EACH, which we refused to do. We checked with reception again, who then sided with him stating that it was $2 to see the art but they were charging us $15 because we were tourists. Again, we refused and left. The irony is that we would have easily spent more than that in the gift shop but they are clearly setup to rip people off. Avoid this place, all they did was lie to us to get us through the door then aggressively demand money.

Funny how the National Art Gallery has been a part of my route for over a decade and despite eating at the different little cafes that have been a part of it over the years and even attending a few events set at the gallery, I had never taken the time to actually tour the exhibitions, and oh-my, have I missed out on so much over the years! My visit to the National Art Gallery was so inspiring! I fell in love with forms of art I never knew would speak so much to me! It is definitely a must try and must see! I will be chasing new exhibitions every-time they get to change! The place deserves my apology for sleeping on it for so long💚 The art is beautifully curated and super unique! The artists on exhibit all just created pieces that went beyond human imagination! I am obsessed.

The exhibitions change from time to time. It's a peaceful place that really showcases local artists. However, it's rather empty in some sections. The lighting on the first floor is perfect. It's only $2 per person, making it an affordable date activity.

Excellent National Gallery exhibiting the paintings and artworks of celebrated Zimbabwean Artists, there four separate halls in the first floor aesthetically arranged with meaningful signages, don't miss the sculpture exhibits outside the Gallery, there is admission fee to enter the Gallery, the staff, particularly, the lady at the reception is very kind and helpful and she guided us to what to see on priority. Photography is allowed inside the Gallery.

A wonderful place at the heart of the CBD where you can escape from the busy life. Provides different art 🎨 be it mosaic, sculpture, paintings, drawings, prints and decorative arts. Also got a restaurant within the premise which provides 5 star services
