Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) is a groundbreaking pan-African and pan-diasporic institution dedicated to promoting and preserving contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora. The museum’s vision is to produce and present cutting-edge contemporary exhibitions and art historical knowledge, enhance the careers of Africa’s most talented artists in the 21st century and beyond, strengthen its education programmes, and ensure access for all.

The museum’s iconic architecture and custom designed spaces include the cathedral-like Atrium with two Scenic Elevators, art-inspired Museum Shop, sixth floor Rooftop Terrace and restaurant, Ocular Lounge, with breathtaking 270-degree views of Table Mountain and the city. Galleries feature rotating, temporary exhibitions with dedicated space for the permanent collection. The museum also includes the BMW Centre for Art Education, and the Atelier, a project space for emerging Cape Town-based artists.

Zeitz MOCAA was established through a partnership between the V&A Waterfront led by CEO David Green––acting on behalf of Growthpoint Properties Limited and the Government Employees Pension Find (GEPF), represented by the Public Investment Corporation Limited (PIC)––and collector Jochen Zeitz. The building was reimagined through a design by the acclaimed London-based Heatherwick Studio.
