Located in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) is the largest museum dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora.
Housed in a converted 1920s grain silo, its striking architecture is as inspiring as the collections it holds, making it a landmark for art, culture, and history in the city.
This Heritage Day, there’s no better place to immerse yourself in South Africa’s rich cultural tapestry, and the best part is, entry is free.
On Wednesday, September 24, Zeitz MOCAA will be open to the public to enjoy a vibrant day of art, performance, food, and community from 10 am to 6 pm.
The museum will be buzzing with activities designed to engage all ages, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
