Every so often, it's important to venture off the beaten path. A beautiful country like South Africa has a lot to offer tourists with its relaxed atmosphere and amazing vistas. Of course, there's the customary dedication to nightlife, beaches and shopping, but there's a lot of culture to grasp here too. The majority of museums in South Africa aim to show visitors a history of the country you can't experience anywhere else. The Goodman Gallery in Johannesburg is no different. The gallery has been around long enough to encourage artists to break out of the traditional holds put on them and embrace their new freedom with challenging works. The "art for advocacy" days are gone, and exhibitions that explore history, geography and self have emerged. Break into this cultural world, but definitely don't forget the swimsuit and party clothes.
