The Anton Smit Sculpture Park's three-hectare grounds are situated on the northern side of the Bronkhorstspruit Dam, on a plateau overlooking the water. Amongst the backdrop of natural limestone formations, manicured lawns and succulent gardens, it makes for a lovely environment to view the expansive collection of monumental sculptures and installations. It is a destination of creativity attracting tourists, art buyers and includes Imagine Café, a full service coffee shop open daily Tuesday through Sunday, 10am to 4pm. The Park expands the traditional concept of an art venue, ensuring a truly unique and inspiring experience. Only 40 minutes from Pretoria and 60 minutes from Johannesburg, but a world away.
