Museums open doors

YOUNG and old this week took advantage of the opportunity to see some of the fascinating exhibitions the V&A Waterfront has to offer – either for free or at a reduced rate.

After a successful pilot event in July, Museum Night returned on Wednesday and allowed the public to gain access to museums and exhibitions from 5pm until 10pm.

Most museum sites offered free admission to the public, with the Two Oceans Aquarium offering half price tickets on the night.

Participating museums included the Chavonnes Battery Museum; Robben Island Jetty Museum; Iziko Maritime Centre; and the Springbok Experience Rugby Museum.

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), which opens in September, hosted a programme outside the museum building.
