Win a Private Museum Tour + Dinner for Two at Norval Foundation Worth R2 500
One lucky reader stands the chance of winning a personalised tour, followed by a wonderful dinner at The Skotnes Restaurant, at this world-class art museum in Tokai.
By Kent Cloete • 16 September 2019
When Norval Foundation opened its lofty doors in April 2018, arts and culture enthusiasts sat up and took notice. Located in the serene Steenberg wetlands, with sweeping views of the vineyards and Table Mountain National Park beyond, the majestic, modern glass-and-metal structure matches the splendour within – offering an intriguing hint at what’s to come.
Founded by the Norval family and designed by DHK Architects, the museum is home not only to world-class, purpose-built galleries, but also a sculpture garden, outdoor amphitheatre, research library, restaurant and bar, shop, and a children’s playground, too.
Dedicated to showcasing art with global appeal in an environment that fosters an appreciation for nature, Norval Foundation is a welcome addition to the homely ’burbs, and is another well-deserved feather in Cape Town’s ever-expanding culture cap.
And, like all world-class galleries, Norval Foundation has a contemporary restaurant attached to it. Named after legendary local artist and teacher Cecil Skotnes, it overlooks mountains, vineyards and the impressive sculpture garden.
And now, you and a lucky plus one stand the chance of experiencing the esteemed spot in a very special way – with a private museum tour, followed by dinner for two at The Skotnes Restaurant and Bar.
Soak up the beauty, history, and concepts behind the exciting current exhibitions (including Why Should I Hesitate: Sculpture by William Kentridge – the first exhibition internationally to address Kentridge’s output as a sculptor), before enjoying a range of delectable dishes from the bistro menu at the onsite restaurant.
Paying homage to traditional South African dishes, with a modern twist on flavours, you can expect culinary delights of lamb bobotie, peri-peri chicken tacos, oxtail pasta, superfood salad, pork croquettes, with sweet endings of malva pudding, vanilla crème brûlée and homemade ice cream – to name a few.
Are you ready for a kick of culture?

I watched the construction of the Norval Art Museum with great interest and often drive past slowly to admire those parts of the sculpture garden I can see from the road. I am curious to see inside the museum, especially to view the work of Gerard Sekoto and to see the museum’s impressive collection of 20th and 21st century. To have a guided tour would be fabulous and a dinner at the lovely Skotnes Restaurant is a wonderful way to end a tour and will just complete the immersive cultural experience.
