About this audio guide
This guide to the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town opens with founding curator Mark Coetzee's years spent assembling the collection loaned by his patron Jochen Zeitz, while architect Thomas Heatherwick's team carved forty-two grain-silo tubes into a soaring atrium. You'll hear how the museum opened in September 2017 to global acclaim, and what happened within a year to the man whose eye had shaped nearly everything inside it. Look for the absence around the galleries as you walk them.
