Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) is the largest museum of contemporary African art in the world, located in a converted grain silo at the V&A Waterfront. The building's industrial architecture is a highlight, with the central atrium carved out of the silo's concrete tubes. The museum's collection features works by artists from across Africa and its diaspora, spanning painting, sculpture, photography, and installation. Visitors can also enjoy panoramic views of Table Bay from the rooftop sculpture garden.
