Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa Read
**In Cape Town at the VNA Waterfront you can visit the awesome Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA)**

(SOURCE WIKIPEDIA)
The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) is a contemporary art museum located at the V&A ...
Founder: V&A Waterfront; Jochen Zeitz
Location: V&A Waterfront, Silo District, South Arm Road, Waterfront, Cape Town, 800...
Established: 2017

Hubby and I have visited this museum a couple of times and it's certainly one of the most interesting places I've been to with some amazing contemporary art pieces.

> I regret that I cannot recall many of the artist names or details as it's been a while since I've been.

**The good news for locals in South Africa is that we have free entry on Wednesdays between 09h00-13h00 which with the economy as it is makes for a good incentive to visit the museum at least once**

**Be warned that you will come across some interesting art concepts**

**Photographer Roger Ballen donates his entire body of work to Zeitz MOCAA Influential photographer Roger Ballen has announced a major donation of his entire body of work to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA)**

> I include quite a few of his art works as I find it intriguing, disturbing on some levels but yet fun on others as we had a few good giggles looking at it all and taking it in. I include a link up top where you can read more on the photographer Robert Ballens.

**And then we had some fun outside the museum where there's a whole lot of these funny swiveling, rotating seats which makes for a lot of fun and laughter.**

**This is a museum that I will visit again and again. It houses many local artists and has some quirky and fun art pieces that you won't forget in a hurry. Definitely a bucket list item if you are visiting South Africa.**
