YOUR PASSPORT TO HOLIDAY NIRVANA FROM OUR EXPERTS
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
