Zeitz MOCAA traced the grain silo’s transformation into a museum

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Zeitz MOCAA’s September 2024 announcement described Silo Through the Century: Into the Contemporary as a movable exhibition about the building’s changing uses. Combining archival images, video and objects, it traced the grain silo from its 1924 industrial beginnings to its conversion into a contemporary-art museum. The project placed the institution’s architecture within Cape Town’s economic and cultural history, beyond the centenary celebration itself.

Summarised from Zeitz MOCAA. This is the institution’s own announcement. It is not independent reporting.
