Fuelled by a $38 million renovation project, a decrepit grain silo complex in Cape Town, South Africa, has been transformed into the largest contemporary art institution on the continent.

Khanya Mtshali reports for Quartz that the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), located on the V&A Waterfront, a popular cultural hub overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, opened its doors to the public last week. The museum offers an expansive, impressive space devoted to African art and artists.
The Guardian reports that more than 100 galleries, spread out over nine floors, exclusively showcase the work of 21st-century African and diaspora artists.
Many of MOCCA’s works were drawn from the private holdings of German collector Jochen Zeitz, a former CEO of PUMA and the building’s namesake.
