The great-granddaughter of the founder of the Cape Times, Joan St Leger was an artist and poet. She bequeathed her Sir Herbert Baker–designed home and adjoining properties to make this excellent arts and cultural centre. There are changing art displays, a wonderful library, a gallery of evocative photos of how Muizenberg once looked, and a café. Concerts are generally held on the Thursday morning at the start of the month (R50) and Wednesday evening at the end of the month (R105).
