The Carnegie Art Gallery is a public Art Museum situated in the Central
Business District of Newcastle, Kwa-Zulu Natal, adjacent to the
Municipal Gardens.

Its collection includes contemporary paintings, sculptures, ceramics,
fibre art, beadwork, weaving and wooden carvings by critically acclaimed
and recognised South African artists. A unique and valuable collection
of African Art & Zulu material cultural objects has also been
accumulated.

The gallery is a many sided cultural centre with an important social,
educational and cultural role to play. It has generated considerable
donor support over the years, encouraged the development of craft
production in the region, and it contributes to a culturally enriched
life for the citizens of Northern KwaZulu Natal and to tourists visiting
the region.
