YOUR PASSPORT TO HOLIDAY NIRVANA FROM OUR EXPERTS

- By George Gawie

QI’m going on safari in South Africa, and staying in Cape Town before I hit the bush. What should I see?

There was a huge buzz when the new Zeitz Museum of Contempora­ry Art Africa opened – it’s so cool Gucci even threw the opening party. Designed by Thomas Heatherwic­k of London Olympics fame, the museum occupies nine floors of a converted grain store and is arranged across 100 galleries with a spectacula­r, cathedral-like atrium. It holds the continent’s largest collection of contempora­ry African art, including a sculpture garden, performanc­e and costume institutes, a video and photograph­y centre, along with work from some of the country’s most talented modern artists. And it’s got a conscience, offering free entry for four days when it opened as part of its commitment to welcoming and representi­ng all Africans
