Zeitz MOCAA and the Grain Silo Cathedral

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa at the V&A Waterfront occupies a converted 1920s grain silo carved by Thomas Heatherwick into cathedral-like galleries. The largest institution dedicated to contemporary African art on the continent. The art engages with colonialism, identity, and migration with a directness that makes Western museums feel cautious.

What visitors miss: The Silo Hotel rooftop bar above the museum, open to non-guests, with Table Mountain views.
