The Museum, which opened in 2006, currently has a new exhibition of works by Andy Goldsworthy, Deryck Healey and Ouattara Watts. The art collection forms part of a new 600m² facility on Glen Carlou.

According to Mr Hess, his interest in contemporary art is inseparable from his love of wine. “With its magnificent scenery, wonderful soil and climate and world-class wines, taking my interest in wine to South Africa by obtaining Glen Carlou has always been an ambition I have been fortunate enough to fulfil,” he says. “It is thus a pleasure to see the current offerings at the winery extended to a venue displaying some of the art works I love. The collection will change regularly and I hope that South African and international visitors to Glen Carlou will take as much pleasure in the art works on display as they do in the wines.”
