The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa grand opening is scheduled
for September next year.

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa will open in September next
year in the Silo building in the Silo District of the V&A Waterfront,
Cape Town.

The four-year project, which is in its final stage, has converted the
Grain Silo, built in 1921, into a nine-floor contemporary art
museum.

It will house centres for the Costume Institute, photography,
curatorial excellence, moving image, performance practice, and art
education. It will feature gallery spaces, a sculpture garden,
bookshop, restaurant, technical training areas, research labs and
reading rooms.

During the grand opening weekend, Friday, September 22 to Monday,
September 25, no entrance fee will be charged. Visitors under the age
of 18 will enter free all year round and entry will be half price for
all on Friday evenings.

The museum`s Executive Director and Chief Curator, Mark Coetzee, said:
"This museum is a symbol, an icon, of the confidence we feel about
being African, the confidence that we feel about our place in the
world. And that`s what makes this so extraordinary."
