It is scheduled to run until (will add the date later).

The exhibition, which has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2001, is themed: 'Leadership Starts in the Family - Stop AIDS - Keep the Promise', will feature art works aimed at promoting behavioural change.

'These artworks will hopefully inspire those viewing them to play a leading role in preventing the spread the virus. The intention is to use of the medium of art to make people aware that they need to be in the forefront when it comes to ensuring their own safety and that of their loved ones,' a press release from the National Museum states.

It further explains that over the years art has proved to be an effective tool with regard to jogging the human mind into coming to terms with the realities of life.

'Therefore, the exhibition is expected to make every individual realise that if they do not lead by example towards the rightful behaviour for stopping the havoc caused by the disease, chances are that nobody else will,' it states.
