It is located in St George's Park in Port Elizabeth, South Africa.

It was renamed in December 2002 in honour of Nelson Mandela and in line with the name of the Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality, of which Port Elizabeth is a part.

There are also international printmaking and Oriental art, which include Indian miniatures and Chinese textiles.

At the same time exhibiting the Permanent Collection on rotation – given the gallery's limited space – the museum maintains an active programme of temporary exhibitions of works travelling between the major art museums of South Africa.
