City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality

The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is a Category A municipality in Gauteng, South Africa. It was established on 5 December 2000 through the integration of the municipalities and councils that had served the greater Pretoria area, and it took in the former Metsweding District Municipality in 2011. It now covers 6 345 km², including Pretoria, Centurion, Mamelodi, Soshanguve, Cullinan and Bronkhorstspruit. Alongside municipal services, the City looks after arts, culture and heritage venues, among them the Pretoria Art Museum, the Centurion Art Gallery, Melrose House and Fort Klapperkop. The Pretoria Art Museum in Arcadia Park opened in 1964 to house the municipality's art collection, built up since the early 1930s, and concentrates on a representative collection of South African art. It hosts exhibitions such as the Sasol New Signatures exhibition.
