This will be the world’s largest museum dedicated to contemporary African Art and its diaspora. The museum has been designed by Heatherwick Studio based in London. Using the Grain Silo Complex, which has not been used since 1990, it stands as a monument to the industrial past of Cape Town, and was once the tallest building in South Africa.
