So beautiful that it looks unreal. Perfect backdrop for amazing photos. I would rate it 5 stars but you need to pay for everything and everywhere you want to go inside. Security was kind enough to allow me to take photos but a fee is usually needed

Benefited culturally from my birth month freebie with the visit to this incredible place. Got a bit of culture with my guest and loved one who benefitted on this Wednesday 30.08 as it's free entry with your South African ID between 10am and 1pm. Saw so much art and appreciated it immensely. So much imagination I could see and feel. Normal entry price is R230 if not in your birthday month or on a Wednesday. Opening days Tuesday to Saturday only

The architecture is absolutely stunning! Entering the atrium feels like entering a cathedral. The height of the converted silos is breathtaking. Some may not agree with me, but I’d prefer to enjoy the magnificent atrium without an installation. The exhibitions were interesting and I particularly enjoyed some of the pieces from ‘When we see us’. This place is a must visit when in Cape Town. We are particularly appreciative that SA citizens may visit for free on Wednesdays with ID proof.

For the building itself, 5 stars! What an amazing feat. I don't know how this was done but it seems like they cut out an egg shape in the interior to create the spacious cavity in the centre, leaving visually interesting lines and shapes from floor to ceiling. Into this they've integrated the glass lifts which are exposed to the space. You can also go onto the roof and see the glass floors and towers. I found the combination of steel, concrete and glass and inspired architectural design fascinating. Now for the bad... the exhibitions I give 2/5 stars. It's just not for me. I like to think I am open minded when it comes to art, but I do prefer visual art, created with skill, to more conceptual pieces. The top floor has a lot of material regarding various political/humanitarian struggles people have faced, for example Apartheid in SA and the plight of the Palestinians (which has new weight considering current events). I found it quite interesting to see the various placards and posters with messages of solidarity from around the world. I view this as historical content with modern day relevance, but not really as art. I did find it interesting though. The other floors just got worse for me. I didn't read all of the text which may have given the displays more meaning since, in my opinion, if a piece of art needs to be explained by reading a thousand words then it has failed to have an impact. There were some video displays that were boring to watch. There was an exhibition of photography where some of it was just some sandy roads and incomplete construction, some of it looked like Google maps street view screenshots, and the rest consisted of blurry images of people. On the basement level there were more traditional paintings, and a few pieces which were interesting, but the rest just seemed quite amateur to me. Art is subjective, and I'm sure some people would enjoy this and ponder the meaning behind some of the installations, but it was very underwhelming and felt a bit pretentious to me. Might I suggest that the types of exhibitions need more variety. I feel like currently (Jan 2024) they only cater to one type of art enthusiast.

Beautiful rooftop. Can have a cafe and light meal. The collection is not open when I was there. The gift shop is perfect place if you looking for a gift

The buildings architecture is beautiful and deserves 5 ⭐️. The exhibitions were not for me, they seem to be political with a lot of reading.

I love the art and visuals in this museum. Its so well curated and great. Make sure to have your headsets so you can scan the QR code and have the audio guide throughout the whole museum. On every Wednesday or Thursday (don't clearly remember), there is a free day for all Africans to enter for free, make sure to carry your passport or identity card. On the roof top is a cafeterias with nice coffee, bites and there is internet around the whole museum. If you need a contemporary museum in Cape Town, this is it.

The five stars are on the basis of the building alone, an ingenious and jaw-dropping transformation of a massive grain silo into a modern art museum. I was heartbroken when I made my way to it thinking I was wrong about which days it is open, but they very kindly let me peek from the back of the gift shop into the heart of the sculpted space. Its soaring interior feels much like the inside of a Gothic church. Big wow factor. Next time I’ll get the day right and see the art, but I truly love this building.

A beautifully constructed place, I got a free entry because it was my birth month. There are so many powerful art pieces. It is advisable to start from the base level and walk your way up to the top. Shooting down Babylon floor is very spiritual and creepy so if you are scared I’ll advice to not go in there. Restaurant on the top level, didn’t get to go there though. There are also loads of picture spots. I’ll advise to take pictures on the stairs too.

This incredible museum is a piece of art itself, wrought out of an Ilka grain silo into a magnificent art space. The work on show is up to date, cutting edge contemporary African art that provides an experiential journey for mind and heart. The piece about slavery in this video I added was like a pouch to the gut! Definitely deserves repeated visits. The restaurant at the top was a friendly comfortable place with great views. Menu was interesting although a little sparse on the vegetarian options. Service was friendly but too casual and relaxed - not very attentive. All in all a well worth it day trip.

Spectacular Building, what a gem Cape Town has in this museum. I highly recommend a visit regardless of the exhibit(s). As instructed,’start from the top and make your way down. Take in all the views and sight lines. Recommend and would return.

This is a must visit for everyone interested in modern art and culture. I enjoyed my stay a lot, spend their half a day to take the time for a fully immersive experience on all the different floors. The building itself is stunning architecture, definitely worth a visit!

The ticket is R230. The museum has 6 floors, some floors are closed due to construction. You can use the stairs or elevator to move in between floors, only 2/3 floors were showing art so it’s not really worth the price. The art was beautiful.

What an incredible museum. Just the layout of the building itself, turning old silos into such incredible modern art, is beautiful. But then the exhibits inside were moving and beautiful as well, I’d love to go back to see the new installations!

My first visit to the Zeitz Mocaa museum. Very impressive how the old silo's were converted into a museum. Beautiful job. I am no art connoisseur and I was not very moved by the various exhibits. That is not to say some were not good. I am just not really qualified to give an educated review on any of them. I did find the first exhibition on the top floor equation various "freedom fighter" or "liberation" movements to be very biased in favour of the exhibition organizer's viewpoints. I found it divisive and alienating and was not won over by the attempts to glorify people who supported violence. Can't help the way I feel. I am admirer of non-violemce. Give me Mahatma Ghandi any day. The coffee shop was excellent with great views. Even the coffee was good. Was happy to see they offer oat milk for vegans. The underground parking is very convenient. Great to benefit from the "Free Wednesday" entry to South African senior citizens, although I am personally against the concept of charging foreign visitors excessive rates compared to locals. The museum is not the only place that applies this discriminatory principle. You can find the same unappreciative treatment of foreign visitors at the Botanical gardens as well as at National Parks.

Loved the experience - did a free tour with Your guide, very informative and interesting. What a beautiful building/silo 😍 we ended our tour with a drink & waffles on the rooftop bar - amazing views and decor, food, drinks etc😁 a bonus - it's free entry on a wednesday for SA residents.

Uniquely African contemporary art displayed in a stunning architecturally converted building. Opened 2 years ago, this is the first museum on the continent dedicated to African Contemporary art. An old silo complex that was disused for over 20 years has ingeniously and creatively been converted into a museum space, and a 5 Star hotel. Entry is R190. Free entry for all under 18 yrs old. Free entry for African citizens every Wednesday between 10am– 1pm. Free introductory/ highlight tours are offered daily at 11am and 3pm - the tour is excellent and explains the origin and conversation of the silo building, and gives great insight into several artworks on display. If you are going to visit then I’d highly recommend you join one of these tours. Alternatively, FREE self guided audio tours are available at any time. There is a restaurant on the top floor which has beautiful views; once you’ve paid the museum entry fee you are welcome to go up there for a drink or something to eat.

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Artwork is definitely worth a visit and the R220pp entry fee. Over 40 concrete silos make up the property. These were carved and honed to create an engaging cavern of modernity. Floor six is the roof. Climb all the way up the spiral staircase if you'd like to challenge your quadriceps, otherwise take the lift. Floor five is office space for the museum while floor three is an amazing collection of contemporary art in every conceivable media type from hundreds of artists. Floor four is the permanent Zeitz collection. The ritzy Silo Hotel occupies the floors above the museum. More exhibits look to be coming on floors one and two. You can spend well over an hour exploring and enjoying.

A stunning venue that must be preserved. The architecture is artfully executed from the ceiling to the tunnels. My partner have visited twice in 12 months to see new and older exhibitions and were surprised at every turn. The exhibitions are carefully selected and executed in the most thought-provoking display of protest, power, and passion.

The Museum is a true gem in the world of art and culture. The architectural marvel of the museum itself is a testament to creativity, seamlessly blending historic silo structures with modern design. The vast collection of contemporary African art within its walls is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Exploring the diverse artworks, ranging from paintings and sculptures to multimedia installations, offers a profound insight into the richness and diversity of African artistic expression. The curation is masterful, providing a thought-provoking and immersive experience for visitors. The museum's commitment to showcasing African artists and narratives is commendable, contributing to a more inclusive and global art scene. The knowledgeable staff adds to the overall enriching atmosphere, offering valuable insights and context to the exhibits.

A great way to spend a chill morning or afternoon. The staff are friendly and super helpful. Security is just as helpful and professional. Please keep an eye on the little ones and their curious little hands at exhibitions. Don’t forget to grab lunch at the restaurant upstairs! Beautiful view from up there!

(Translated by Google) Incredibly beautiful exhibition, with many artistic highlights and a great cafe on the roof with an incredibly beautiful view of the waterfront of Cape Town. Definitely worth a visit, for art lovers as well as those who can do so much with art. Entry is 200 rand and the exhibition extends over several floors. (Original) Unglaublich schöne Ausstellung, mit vielen künstlerischen Highlights und einem tollen Cafe auf dem Dach mit unglaublich schönen Ausblick auf dir Waterfront von Kapstadt. In jedem Fall ein Besuch wert, für Kunstliebhaber wie vielleicht auch denen die mit Kunst noch so viel anfangen können. Der Eintritt beträgt 200 Rand und die Ausstellung erstreckt sich über mehrere Etagen.

I am not a museum person and l have never been excited for a trip to any museum. Often, there is just too much to take in, too many things to see and too much information to read. Well the Zeitz mocaa was definitely more than I expected. The building itself, previously a granary, is phenomenal and the art collections from all over Africa tell the most unexpected, harrowing and charming stories. You need at least 3 to 4 hours to explore 6 floors of art and (food) perfectly curated to stimulate all your senses. The coolest museum I've ever seen!

The latest exhibition at the Zeitz Mocaa is absolutely magnificent, why because it's all inclusive. The artworks on display are breathtakingly beautiful & I've never enjoyed this venue so much. To the management & staff that had a hand in this stunning display, well done & thank you. To everybody that hasn't seen it, make a plan & visit it as soon as possible. Kind regards Ferdie Liebenberg

Zeitz Museum is the first place I fell in love with art. Why? It is because there is a guide, along with an authored explanation of the exhibition that is on display. I found it quite interesting, useful and beneficial. They have a lift, stairway coffee shop, gift shop, you name it. The view from the coffee shop is fantastic. I would recommend Zeitz over any other Museum or art Gallery any day.

I lived in Cape Town for years now but only went there a few days ago and I cannot believe this treasure has been sitting right under my nose the whole time. Unbelievable designs, lovely staff and breathtaking artworks! If you’re into art and love creative architectural designs, a definite place to visit!

It was my first time at Zeitz, but I'm pretty sure this is a space you never get jaded by. The building itself is a work of art and there's something religious about contemplating what it must have taken to carve those halls out of those silos. All that sweat, dust, machinery and noise to create the majestic hallways linking the calm, serenity and neutral backdrops of each exhibit and installation. For that alone, it's worth the visit. If you have the opportunity to visit in the near future, the Rwandan exposition by Alfredo Jaar will affect you deeply and I'd recommend not leaving it for last. Start at the top and work down - that way, you'll end with the cheeky profundity of Johannes Phokela and his irreverent comparison of the renaissance and contemporary news. Comment to share your thoughts on the significance of eggs for him, please, I haven't googled it yet. Young children are unlikely to want to spend as much time here as you will, but there is a pretty great restaurant on the 6th floor and cafés on ground, so bring more than one adult and take shifts. Bathrooms are on 1st and -1 so don't make your kiddo hold it when you're on 2nd or you'll have a sprint, and those beautiful, reflective floors aren't your friend in that scenario. Don't forget your headsets so you can make use of the audio tours available at each exhibit. Parking is readily available underground at Silo - it's marked 'Deliveries' at first glance, but venture on brave explorer, you need only deliver yourself. I could go on, but just go see it for yourself. You'll love it.

The building it self is beautiful. The art.... wel.... it's interesting... but be sure to ask what you going to see on display. Some might not be appealing to everyone like me. Some art at the time I was there was great and some was disturbing. Just ask what to expect before you enter.

Loved visiting the gallery! Amazing architectural work turning a silo into a modern art space which is alone already deserves a lot of attention. Most of the exhibitions were captivating and we enjoyed our visit all in all.

The Museum is striking in appearance. The artwork is good and some of the artists are quite famous. It felt a bit sparse as there are 7 floors but two are closed. The building itself is amazing.

Didn't like it Not for me I've visited much nicer museums of contemporary art for example the one in Luxembourg is much nicer, more interesting and bigger. Thank God I had a free entrance. It wouldn't worth the money and time

I cannot find the words to explain how great this place is. I highly recommend the audio tour which is a no cost item when you have paid the entrance fee. It easily takes 3 hours to walk through the place and see the amazing works on display. The gallery is revised with new work every 3 months or so making it an experience you can do again and again. It is a beautiful building highlighting exceptional African talent.

Beautiful museum and stunning art. I'd like to see a bit more diversity in the styles presented.

(Translated by Google) Very impressive building and museum. When I visited it unfortunately several floors were under construction and not accessible. Despite the good presentation and explanation, the current (2/20) exhibition was not accessible to me and did not correspond to my understanding of contemporary art. The "sculpture garden" on the roof terrace was empty. I look forward to upcoming exhibitions. (Original) Sehr eindrucksvolles Gebäude und Museum. Als ich es besuchte waren leider gerade mehrere Stockwerke im Umbau und nicht betretbar. Die aktuelle (2/20) Ausstellung war für mich trotz guter Aufmachung und Erklärung nicht greifbar und entsprach nicht meinem Verständnis von zeitgenössischer Kunst. Der "Skulpture garden" auf der Dachterrasse war leer. Ich freue mich auf kommende Ausstellungen.

Amazing museum, it has a variety of arts that are mesmerizing and very affordable annual membership which offers you full access to the museum. I loved everything minute i spent there and will definitely be going back

A must do point of interest at the Waterfront. Founded by order of manager and art enthusiast Jochen Zeitz and opened in 09. 2017. Its great design based and inspired by the old silo district buildings. It´s really a colourful enjoyment to go through the different departments, lingering, resting, watching and thinking about what the hell is actully art.....

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa is a contemporary art museum located at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa. It is the largest museum of contemporary African art in the world. The museum opened on September 22, 2017.

Staff was quite rude. The building is incredible though

I really enjoyed the experience. The lady who helped us at the front desk was extremely rude though. She acted as if we were complete idiots whenever we asked her a question.

First there is the building. Worth visiting just for the architecture. Then the art. Such a great experience. Took 1,5 hours to cruise through and I could have spent more time. Single ticket is almost the same price as an annual ticket. Be smart.

Great exhibition. Amazing artworks and interior of the building. Worth to visit.

Definitely a gem of a space. The construction of the space itself is incredible. One must go to the top and stand on the glass ceilings of the silo and look down. The 45mins we had to walk around was not nearly enough to engage with the 2 exhibits we went into. Each exhibit is there to challenge you, not just visually. The one on Rwanda particularly requires something to be with, and grapple about the state of our humanity. We are grateful to have selected the basic annual membership option which was a little more than a single visit, but it means we have year round access, which we look forward to making use of.

The largest museum of contemporary African art is must-visit. The building, comprised 42 concrete cylinders, is a piece of art in itself. Traces of its industrial origin as a Grain Silo are celebrated in the architecture and make for an unforgettable experience. Currently, day tickets are R210 and individuals under 18 get in free. It’s well worth it to buy a year long membership (R290) if you plan to visit the museum more than once in the year. The view of Cape Town from the 6th floor (the roof) is incredible. Through the glass floor, you can look all the way down the museums central atrium too (if heights don’t bother you). Floor 4 is home to the Zeitz permanent collections, while the collections on Floor 3 change regularly—contemporary art in an array of media types, from hundreds of local and international artists, fill the quiet exhibition rooms. Expect to spend two hours working your way up the spiral staircase (there’s an elevator too) to see all the art.

Entry is R220 but worth it. The art exhibitions were so captivating I found my self spending over 4 hours watching art. Certain collections have a podcast that you can listen to while you look at the art. Further explaing meaning, the artist's influence and symbolism. It was a great experience.

Fascinated. Amazing design of the building which offers almost enough reason to visit. Looks like the inside of an old Bond villain set. Took lots of pics. Modern Art mostly confused me. Though, on a smaller scale, it offers an equivalent to the Tate Modern in London we visited earlier this year. Some fascinating displays. Interesting to see how different artists express the passion, pain, emotion and their craft in so many varied ways. The staff were helpful and engaging which made the visit better. The gent selling the tickets showed interest in us and the Duty Manager engaged in conversation resulting in us staying a little longer. We will be back.

Very interesting Contemporary Africa art museum at the Waterfront. Build in old silos this museum keeps you on your toes! Tickets are quite expensive but it's worth it if you are interested in Art! Highly recommended if you visit Caoe Town.

The building itself is a work of art. The architectural interventions of adapting the previously known grain silos are truly remarkable - creating a dramatic interior with 6 floors of walkable space. Each level is carefully curated with various art and design installations, some that run over a few weeks or months depending on the artists involved. The spaces itself are spacious, well maintained, well secured by security and are wheelchair accessible where needed. Aside from the art, there is a touristy curio shop on the ground floor and a upmarket cafe on the the rooftop level, with picturesque views of the harbour and mountains.

Amazing history depicted throughout - very cleverly done and what an incredible building restoration ! Roof top bar very tranquil space too - recommend x

Went to the William Kentridge exhibition and while the high-profile name brought us to the gallery, the quality of all the installations will bring us back. Fantastic artwork, architecture, and lots of interactive activities. The restaurant on the sixth floor has delicious coffee, great service, and food is beautifully presented as well as delicious. There is an elevator and access for people with physical disabilities and audio and visual explanations for most of the displays. There will likely be a lot of walking which might present a problem for people who tire easily. We had a wonderful experience and would strongly recommend for all ages.

A nice gallery I just walked up on on a Sunday. I was gonna pass but a quick check of great reviews sent me.in. a guided informative tour by a passionate guide. A beautiful space, nice art installations makes for a great experience. Art makes the world go around. Support the arts by visiting.

The Zeitz is one of the best modern art museums I have ever seen. The area is beautiful, the building is ingeniously rebuilt from grain silos to art gallery and the art exhibitions are everything you want from a modern art museum in Africa. I highly recommend that you both get a guided tour and that you come the first Thursday of the month for an evening visit. I highly recommend Zeitz!

Amazing experience for my first time in a museum. Incorporating the different forms of art and technology to present a stunning experience. Elevator access for those who need it and stairs for the overly active. Will definitely go again

So many rooms to view from. Great atmosphere. No crowding even on the day that I went in for free. There are lifts if you don't want to take the stairs and there's a bit of everything for everyone.

Good experience, worth a visit. Some very innovative architectural insights within the building. Lovely that it caters for kids too on the ground floor. One can spend hours at the exhibits; some of which are interactive which is great.

Amazing refurbishment of an old grain silo into an awesome space! Cool architecture! Excellent artist exhibitions.

What a perfect outing. I had the best time walking around this place. Such amazing exhibits and totally worth the money. The architecture of the museum itself is, too, something to write home about. Color me completely impressed.

This redundant structure of 42 concrete silos has been re-purposed in a leading edge way that in my opinion draws some parallels (use your imagination) with the Sydney Opera House. Both structures rely heavily on creative use of concrete and both deliver innovative art spaces. The staff were particularly engaging, enthusiastic and helpful and the exhibitions were equal to the venue. I would recommend a visit to the Silos be part of any trip to Cape Town and as there is much to absorb. My tip is to pay a little extra as I did and get a multiple entry ticket (become a member) which lasts a year but has an immediate full cost payback after one return visit, plus you get 10% off every time you dine in the 6th floor restaurant overlooking the harbour.

Really cool space. They literally turned a grain storage facility into an art space. The atrium is unless on its own. In the picture I posted you can see the original grain spouts. Very very cool

Incredible art, culture and insight into the talented/powerful world of Africa. A dream for architect enthusiasts and by far the coolest museum I've ever seen.

A must-visit spot in Cape Town, situated in the beautiful Waterfront area. Be sure to see the restaurant and roof space at the top ⚓️

Excellent art museum. The silo/building is phenomenal. The glass floor at the top is scary though ?

Truly amazing architecture and world-class exhibitions.

Nice exhibitions, interesting

The Ultimate Structural Experience of recycled art. A must see

A really impressive array of Contemporary African Artworks and absolutely stunning architecture. I would highly recommend a visit to this museum.

(Translated by Google) An impressive building. The visit is worthwhile. (Original) Ein beeindruckendes Gebäude. Der Besuch lohnt sich.

(Translated by Google) Great house (Original) Tolles Haus

Magnificent building.

Very dirty and run down

(Translated by Google) I entered him with a mistake, and he was the worst experience, nothing special and licking the brain (Original) دخلت له بالغلط وكانت اسوء تجربه مافيه شي مميز وتحس يلحس المخ

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place but disappointing expo too centered on a single artist. Worth a visit for the architecture and don't skip the view from ld restau in the 6th (Original) Lieu magnifique mais expo décevante trop centrée sur un seul artiste. Mérite la visite pour l'architecture et ne pas zapper la vue depuis ld restau au 6e

Unique art pieces hosted in this masterpiece of architecture. Visit the restaurant on the top floor for a drink with a spectacular view.

Awesome museum with so much to see

(Translated by Google) Wow a very impressive building with special art. Really worth it. Nice view of the city and Waterfront. (Original) Wow een zeer indrukwekkend gebouw met bijzondere kunst. Echt de moeite waard. Mooi uitzicht over de stad en Waterfront.

Beautiful museum with great modern architecture and interesting mixed multimedia exhibits - from drawings and sketches to sculptures and interactive installations. You sure don’t have to be a contemporary art fanatic to enjoy this place. The gift shop has pretty interesting pieces at affordable prices that make for great souvenirs. Admission is free if you purchased the sightseeing red bus tour tickets. Make sure to bring your tickets with you!

A premium selection of artworks in a one of a kind location.

(Translated by Google) Very nice museum in capetown to visit absolutely if you are passing! (Original) Tres beau musée a capetown à visiter absolument si vous êtes de passage !

(Translated by Google) From the outside rather unspectacular but inside a lot of space and special atmosphere. It was a nice experience! (Original) Von aussen eher unspektakulär aber innen viel Raum und besondere Atmosphäre. War ein schönes Erlebnis!

Zeitz museum has a whole lot of ancient and recent arts one must see!

Absolutely magnificent

Very unique experience to be had.

An amazingly dramatic architectural space, really worth a visit regardless of what exhibition is taking place

I did not enjoy this exhibition. In 2018 four of us thought it was magnificent ....this year same four were very disappointed

Very disappointing.We were there in 1918&loved all original African Art.Too much emphasis this year on William Kentridge...his take on life very extreme&unbalanced...weird take on life...in our opinion.We would not recommend this year's Exhibition...appreciate the technical qualities,but not the negative life approach.

Gorgeous and friendly helpful staff

It's high. Very high. But also very impressive

(Translated by Google) Nice museum, apart from the exhibitions, the architecture is very impressive. (Original) Schönes Museum,abgesehen von den Ausstellungen ist die Architektur sehr beeindruckend.

One of the best museums of contemporary art that I’ve visited around the globe so far. The exhibitions were amazing, the architecture is impressive. I highly recommend the restaurant on the top floor. You should plan 3-4 hours for your visit to fully immerse in all exhibitions.

(Translated by Google) An absolutely imposing building. What you can do with a silo ... wow ... unfortunately one floor was completely closed and you couldn't see everything in the basement, too bad. At the entrance one could have pointed it out .... Art is always a matter of taste ... there was great and not great to see ... it was also very loud in the rooms. (Original) Ein absolut imposantes Gebäude. Was man aus einem Silo alles machen kann....wow... leider war eine Etage komplett geschlossen und im Keller konnte man auch nicht alles anschauen, sehr schade. Am Eingang hätte man drauf hinweisen können.... Kunst ist immer eine Geschmacksache...es gab tolles und nicht tolles zu sehen .... außerdem war es sehr laut in den Räumen.

Marvellous innovative architecture. Check what exhibition is on at the time you want to visit. Personally, I would go just to marvel at the architecture unless a temporary exhibition like the current William Kentridge is showing.

As an architecture student I really recommend getting a year membership for R290, if you cannot make it for the free entry on Wednesday from 10am to 1 pm! Glad to have witnessed Zeitz MOCAA from its inception to now! Really has a diverse array of talents, medium and people! The architecture of the building is exquisite and the foyer has a very raw energy to it! Almost as it being in the human heart with the silos resembling aortas. A very good link to the heart wrenching art really! Recommend Zeitz whether you are a adept of galleries or not!

A great museum with a beautiful architecture and several interesting exhibitions. We did a small free tour with one of the museum staff who introduced us to parts of the museum with tons of enthusiasm and passion. A wonderful way to start our day.

A truly awe-inspiring visit to this wonderful building. Thomas Heatherwick has taken an ex-industrial storage silo and cut it out from the inside to create a new, curveceous space with exposed, polished concrete surfaces making you feel like you're on an alien space craft! Further to this the curator has worked hard to source and uniquely present some of the most thought-provoking contemporary artists in Africa.

Interesting building architecture that was used as grain silo in 30s and re-modeled to a museum. Recommend a tour of the museum that's available either at 11 am or 3 pm. Our guide Michael was very knowledgeable and friendly!

The architecture and curation both astounding, a must visit in Capetown.

Incredible museum to visit. Lots of different kinds of art work. Well worth a visit

Amazing views of the breakwater and city bowl. The shipping terminal and amazing service. Please make a reservation before hand. It can get quite chilli on the roof top so be mindful. The food was great and altogether a lovely ambience for groups!

A must-visit. An excellent bit of architecture and worth visiting for that alone. A couple of the floors were out of action when we visited due to a new exhibition being prepared. However, there was still plenty to see and the entry price was actually reduced to compensate for those closed galleries, which was a nice gesture. The staff were all very welcoming and the gift shop is full of interesting and quality products for all budgets.

Beautiful. Fascinating . A must see for art lovers.

The buildings architecture is absolutely stunning

Wonderful collection of art! Amazing architecture 🤩

Lovely exhibition: home is where the art is. An inspiring exhibition with a glorious mixture of styles and genres. Loved it!

The venue itself was the biggest contemporary art piece! Wow! We enjoyed seeing the various artists different styles and artworks. Was a bit disappointed that some areas were closed, but it was due to new exhibitions being installed. It's just a pity we won't be able to see it completed as we are only in Cape Town for a short while...great reason to come back when we are here again!

Well, my girlfriend's art was on display so I might appear compromised, but I assure you that this is a superb museum

How disappointing, their website says its open to South Africas on a Wednesday free of charge. We arrived now and it's closed really unhappy that the website is misleading.

Best place to visit

A definite must experience when visiting Cape Town

Experience nothing like this! Best art museum in Africa!

Lovely coffee ☕ shop up top

Stunning local art on display. Amazing standards from local artists

Futuristic and contemporary, loved it

I can't wait to go see my piece displayed at this giant art gallery. The staff was mostly friendly and considerate especially since they were so busy from early in the morning and having to deal with covid-19 regulations.

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. Entry ticket valid for three months. Good because too many impressions for one day (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert. Eintrittskarte für drei Monate gültig. Gut weil zu viele Eindrücke für einen Tag

The architecture is amazing, the exhibits were down right somber. Even a lot of the local art (one of the floors was dedicated to local talent) was rather depressing. First exhibit on the lowest floor was dedicated to tell a story about a woman who lost her husband to a mining accident and life with his absence. Second exhibit was about observing trauma as an outside observer and healing together by highlighting the genocide in Rwanda. There was nothing healing about the exhibit, just heartbreaking. I'm glad I went and still found the way to express stuff very clever, but you've been warned. It's sad

Hands down on of my favourite places to visit in Cape Town. Not only is the building an architectural masterpiece but their exhibits are always thought provoking and unforgettable. There is also a stunning restaurant on the top floor with great views.

Not an artist, but my wife is an artist Accompanied her, she has a painting on exhibition. Enjoyed my first visit more as there was so much more to see, and more interesting as well. Enjoyed the visit /experience, though Definitely a 5-star, world-class venue! Well done, Cape Town, South Africa!

Good waste of R420... Building itself was spectacular, but that's it... Would've loved to see more about the building, history, construction and so forth. Garden on the 6th was empty? Restaurant closed? Where is it? Not much information given anywhere... I am confused 😕

One of the best, great art place in cape town, the steps are magnificent

Some great exhibitions and the building itself is a piece of art.

If you are an art fan it's a must see experience... its amazing, amazing, amazing

Love the Crafts and art

Pretty average.

Had a really informative trip to Zeitz. Artworks were absolutely beautiful

Educational and beautiful and inspirational.

Fell in Love with Art all l can say

Edited from 5 stars to 1. On our most recent visit my daughter and I were profiled and followed around the museum on each floor. I felt so uncomfortable and eventually my daughter asked that we leave and never return. The staff were repeatedly rude to my daughter who is respectful and well-behaved. My daughter had been begging me to take her to the Zeitz Mocaa for weeks and the staff utterly ruined it. I feel traumatised and sickened - they wouldn't even stop when I asked them to. Bullying, anti-child tactics. Never setting foot inside there again.

(Translated by Google) A beautiful modern museum with super inspiring exhibits. Unfortunately very unfriendly staff, which is noticeable against children (but they have legal and free access). A shame, otherwise absolutely deserves 5 stars, which I cannot award due to the various incidents and unfriendly tone. (Original) Ein wunderschönes modernes Museum mit super inspirierenden Ausstellungsstücken. Leider aber sehr unfreundliches Personal, was spürbar gegen Kinder ( diese haben aber ganz legal und unentgeltlich Zutritt ) sind. Schade, sonst absolut verdient 5 Sterne, die ich durch die diversen Vorfälle und unfreundlichen Umgangston nicht vergeben kann.

Amazing experience

Years later and I still remember William Kentridge's atrium instalation🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

I loved visiting. Home is where the art is and its spectacular building

Awesome

Amazing building and exhibitions

Love the latest exhibition. Nice and strict on COVID - good to see.

An experience that must be had...

Brilliant curating and exhibition.

Beautiful architecture museum, good Cape town artist selection when we were there. A must do if you want the local artistic scene

Wonderful display of South African talent.

Awesome building. Fantastic use of historic grain silos transformed into a cathedral for modern art.

Lovely museum, great exhibits and a nice cafe/ restaurant to take a break

The transformation of this building from a Grain Silo to a museum is its most exciting feature. The architecture alone is a playground for the intellect. The museum had multiple exhibitions running at one time which is a serious treat for art lovers but can tend to be overwhelming; a day pass wouldn't be a bad idea if there isn't one already, so you can go in and out of the museum throughout the day taking breaks between each exhibition (I didn't enquire about it). There's also a rooftop bar that one can escape to (I only had a drink so cannot comment about the food offering). I attended these exhibitions during my visit :'Home is where the Art is', 'Waiting for Gebane', 'Alfred Jaar' and 'Line in the sand'..they were such a visual and emotional journey. I think they were well curated moving from level 6 to the lowest level, the experience went from standing for Azania to free spirited to focused. I would go back for this exhibition and others in future.

Very informative, captivates and Magical experience. Evokes emotion and feeling through art in different mediums.

Spectacular!!

Beautiful works depicting the essence of life

Very nice!

Such a cool space. Definitely a must when travelling Cape Town

Amazing architecture and art display.

Awesome experience loved the Burundi exhibit

We searched the internet, tried to book online. The web pages had minimal information about opening details. . . other than, you can pay at the door. When we arrived it turns out they closed Monday to Wednesday. Very disappointed family.

It is wonderful to see how they have changed the silos into an architectural triumph. That alone is worth the visit. There is so much art to suit all tastes and interests.

Beautiful art work, you will love the architectural detail of the place. Ideal for tourists.

Got some great artwork

(Translated by Google) Gorgeous museum (Original) Museo stupendo

Friendly and welcoming staff, wonderful exhibitions. An asset to Cape Town. A few chairs inside the larger exhibitions wouldn't go amiss though.

Free on your birthday as stated on website.....

Really awesome museum modern/contemporary feel. Made me feel like I was in Europe but with better weather

Loved it! A must see if you visit Cape Town. Very well run. It's a whole experience!

The most stunning exhibitions! So much to see if you appreciate art. Absolutely beautiful place!

Art that makes you think and feel. Thank you for hosting such illustrious artists!

… was _very_ impressed by the gallery reminding of the Rwanda genocid April-August 1994. A must see!

Having traveled a fair amount with particular interest in art museums, there are several things I love about the Zeitz in Cape Town. Firstly, and quite obviously, the architecture creates quite a unique experience with space and light. For this alone I would recommend coming to see it. It really is exquisite to behold and explore. The layout reminds me of the Guggenheim in New York with a spiral walk to the various levels with the architecture remaining a focus point at the centre (although the Guggenheim is a circular ramp and the Zeitz offers a tightly spiraling staircase). The exhibitions are quality and interesting to explore although I would like to see a broader variety of art. Great afternoon out. Fantastic for art appreciation.

Long time been wanting to go. The architecture is beyond belief. Amazing what can be done with retired grain silos! The current exhibition on the 4th floor is wonderful. Thoroughly enjoyed. It's an exhibition of works from Cape Town, given by locals, created by locals, or favourite pieces that are not locally created but been in local houses as favourites for years or even generations.

Just looking at architecture is worth it, but the amazing African art in it is so wonderful that it makes you speechless.

The space is arguably as impressive as the exhibitions inside of it. Brilliant curation, layout and views make it worth the trip every time.

I normally love visiting but found the current art exhibition disappointing. Instagram @lifeafterkids_karolien Facebook @lifeafterkids_karolien

The Zeitz Mocaa is a must visit in Cape Town! An iconic landmark turned into an artwork in itself. So much to see, great photo spots, a wonderful gift shop and a magnificent restaurant on the roof. Plus you get free entry during your birthday month! With new exciting exhibitions showing regularly, I'll surely be back soon.

It was incredibly moving and humbling to experience the various art installations at Zeitz. I highly recommend everyone pay a visit if they have the opportunity.

It was enriching about African history and the art was beaming with talent and deeper meanings. On Wednesday's South African citizens can enter free of charge on proof of SA ID or Driver's licence. Some exhibits were closed so we finished earlier than I thought we would, but had a great time. 👏

Interesting museum, good quality art and probably the priciest museum in all of South Africa. The building itself is very cool, they have carved out the silos in almost a church organ-like fashion. Top floor is a restaurant/lounge and the top of the silos which you can walk across. The remaining floors host different rotating exhibitions. When I visited, they were heavily featuring Tracey Rose. I would have liked to see greater variety in the number of African artists featured, but Rose is a dominant figure on the African art scene (especially being from South Africa). Most of the artists featured were South African, so the idea that this is the premiere spot to see contemporary African art is a bit stretched. That being said, I still preferred the other two exhibits - one focusing on duality and the other on imitation. For the most part, I found the descriptions to be too guided and didn’t leave enough up to the interpretation of each guest. Overall, even if you aren’t big on art, I still think this museum is worth the visit.

My visit to the gallery was truly delightful. The artworks on display were captivating and diverse, offering a wonderful range of artistic expression.

The Museum is beautiful with fascinating and informative exhibitions! The staff is amazing especially the securities who helped me find my way around! I loved every moment of being at Zeitz Museum! I am definitely coming back
