I love the art and visuals in this museum. Its so well curated and great. Make sure to have your headsets so you can scan the QR code and have the audio guide throughout the whole museum. On every Wednesday or Thursday (don't clearly remember), there is a free day for all Africans to enter for free, make sure to carry your passport or identity card. On the roof top is a cafeterias with nice coffee, bites and there is internet around the whole museum. If you need a contemporary museum in Cape Town, this is it.

A beautifully constructed place, I got a free entry because it was my birth month. There are so many powerful art pieces. It is advisable to start from the base level and walk your way up to the top. Shooting down Babylon floor is very spiritual and creepy so if you are scared I’ll advice to not go in there. Restaurant on the top level, didn’t get to go there though.
There are also loads of picture spots. I’ll advise to take pictures on the stairs too.

Fascinated. Amazing design of the building which offers almost enough reason to visit. Looks like the inside of an old Bond villain set. Took lots of pics.
Modern Art mostly confused me. Though, on a smaller scale, it offers an equivalent to the Tate Modern in London we visited earlier this year. Some fascinating displays. Interesting to see how different artists express the passion, pain, emotion and their craft in so many varied ways. The staff were helpful and engaging which made the visit better. The gent selling the tickets showed interest in us and the Duty Manager engaged in conversation resulting in us staying a little longer. We will be back.

The building it self is beautiful. The art.... wel.... it's interesting... but be sure to ask what you going to see on display. Some might not be appealing to everyone like me. Some art at the time I was there was great and some was disturbing. Just ask what to expect before you enter.

Zeitz Museum is the first place I fell in love with art. Why? It is because there is a guide, along with an authored explanation of the exhibition that is on display. I found it quite interesting, useful and beneficial. They have a lift, stairway coffee shop, gift shop, you name it. The view from the coffee shop is fantastic. I would recommend Zeitz over any other Museum or art Gallery any day.

I lived in Cape Town for years now but only went there a few days ago and I cannot believe this treasure has been sitting right under my nose the whole time. Unbelievable designs, lovely staff and breathtaking artworks! If you’re into art and love creative architectural designs, a definite place to visit!

It was enriching about African history and the art was beaming with talent and deeper meanings. On Wednesday's South African citizens can enter free of charge on proof of SA ID or Driver's licence.
Some exhibits were closed so we finished earlier than I thought we would, but had a great time. ????
