The countdown has begun for the opening of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, the most significant museum of contemporary art in Africa, and the largest art museum built in Africa in more than 100 years. In addition to exhibiting an extensive art collection from some of Africa’s most talented artists and its Diaspora, Zeitz MOCAA has sought to create an art museum that is easily accessible to South Africans and continental visitors. V&A Waterfront CEO David Green said, “Given the history and socio-economic role the V&A Waterfront plays in South Africa and the sheer number of visits we achieve annually, we felt this gift to the nation, where commerce meets culture, was entirely appropriate and will correctly continue to position the Waterfront as a social nexus for all Capetonians, South Africans and international visitors who take joy in celebrating culture.”
