Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, South Arm Road, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa
Zeitz MOCAA (Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa), located in the iconic Grain Silo District of Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, is the world's largest survey museum dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. Housed in a stunning repurposed 1920s grain silo, it features cutting-edge exhibitions, educational programs, and architectural marvels that celebrate the continent's creative vitality. As of November 2025, highlights include the MOCAA Art Club Exhibition 2025: Situated In Formation (Nov 1, 2025–Feb 1, 2026) exploring collaborative narratives, and A Protea Is Not a Flower (Oct 16, 2025–Nov 15, 2026) delving into botanical symbolism. South African citizens enjoy free entry Wednesdays (10am–1pm). Just steps from the Waterfront's shops and ocean views, it's a cultural must in November 2025's mild autumn weather (18-22°C), pairing perfectly with a Two Oceans Aquarium visit or a stay at Somerset Nest Lodge. Features:
- Exhibitions: Rotating shows like Situated In Formation (collaborative art) and A Protea Is Not a Flower (botanical themes); focus on African/diaspora contemporary works.
