Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art is the largest contemporary art museum in Africa. Located at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, it showcases contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora, in the world. Apart from its exhibits, the architecture of the museum is what attracts both tourists and locals.

Built out of the iconic Grain Silo Complex, the Zeitz Museum is 9500 sq. m and rises to nine floors. A not-for-profit institute, it features permanent and temporary exhibits. There are exhibits collected by Jochen Zeitz (a partner along with V&A Waterfront in the commissioning of the museum). These include displays by renowned artists, such as Kehinde Wiley, Chris Ofili, Glenn Ligon, Kudzanai Chiurai, and more. The museum structure includes a space for 80 galleries, conservation and storage areas, a sculptured rooftop garden, a restaurant, bookstore, reading rooms, and a bar. There is also the Centre for Art Education, a space for emerging talented artists, and the Centre for the Moving Image. The museum also hosts and conceives different exhibitions and educational programs.
