Contemporary African art in a grain silo, the story of District Six, and the marine life of two oceans — a day inside Cape Town's museums.
A curated day through three very different museums: Zeitz MOCAA, the largest museum of contemporary African art on the continent, housed in a converted grain silo at the V&A Waterfront; the District Six Museum; and the Two Oceans Aquarium. Other museums can be added depending on your interests and time.
The mountain never leaves the picture.
