Strauss & Co's Museum Moments talks seek to shed light on interesting museum spaces from across the country that may otherwise be neglected in the public imagination. The talks highlight the marvellous collections contained within these spaces and museum curators discuss the stories they strive to share with the public through these collections and how they have been brought together.
As well as looking at the collections that belong to each museum, the Museum Moments series also provides fascinating insights into the history of each venue, its origins, architecture, vision and activities and covers plenty of lesser-known South African art museums as well as the more famous ones.
