CT to get its own mega museum

Category General

Every great city has a great museum, and Cape Town will soon be home to a nine-storey cultural mecca that will compete with other world-renowned art galleries.

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) is pegged to be the biggest of its kind on the continent.

Inaugural chief curator, Mark Coetzee explains that the Zeitz MOCAA will house 80 galleries, six institutions, five cinemas, four stages and an educational centre.

The museum hopes to represent the richness and diversity of the continent's cultures, languages, ideologies and religious beliefs, says Coetzee.
