What’s On at Iziko Museums: Current Exhibitions and How to Browse Them

The Iziko Museums website currently highlights Matereality V2 as “Now Showing,” alongside other listed exhibitions such as Reflections, Uitgeskryf in Grond, and Making Freedom: From a History of Slavery to a People’s History. To see what is on, start with the What’s On section of the Iziko Museums site; it is the main entry point for current exhibitions and events.

Start with the What’s On section

The homepage of Iziko Museums of South Africa presents What’s On as a primary heading. Use it as the first place to check for current programming rather than relying on search results or third-party listings.

A practical browsing sequence:

1. Open the Iziko Museums website.
2. Go to What’s On.
3. Look for the featured “Now Showing” item and the exhibition titles listed beneath it.
4. Open an exhibition entry to confirm its title, theme, and any associated event details.

The expected result is a current overview of exhibitions and events. If a listing does not show dates or times, treat those details as unconfirmed until they appear on the exhibition page or an official update.

Examples of current exhibitions

The site’s current headings give a useful snapshot of what is being promoted:

These titles are useful for deciding what to look for, but the listing alone does not establish opening hours, ticket prices, or whether an exhibition is included in general admission. Check the individual exhibition page or the museum’s official updates before planning a visit around a specific show.

Where to find updates on upcoming events

The What’s On section is also the natural place to watch for changes, because it combines current exhibitions with event listings. For updates:

• Recheck What’s On before visiting, especially if you are travelling to a specific museum site.
• Use the exhibition title as your search term on the site to find the most specific page.
• Treat social posts or news articles as secondary; confirm against the official Iziko page.

For example, if you want to see Matereality V2, first confirm that it still appears as “Now Showing” on the day you plan to go, then check whether the page gives a venue or date range.

What this means for planning a visit

The website is best used as a discovery and confirmation tool: it tells you which exhibitions Iziko is currently promoting, but the available page evidence does not include prices, booking requirements, or detailed schedules. Decide what you want to see from the What’s On list, then verify the practical details on the relevant exhibition page before making travel plans.
