Cape Town

December 9, 2018

Cape Town is a beautiful city. We only visited one day. We spent the time in the waterfront area. Bill and I visited the Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA). An art museum built in the old grain silos. A very interesting building.

Grants Pass Oregon where we live has bears, Cape Town has rhinos. I like the rhinos

Tommy the Tugboat is just waiting to take you on a tour.

The waterfront is full of interesting buildings and is mostly pedestrian only. 

Perfect spot for a break.

Nobel Square - Statues of the 4 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates from South Africa - Albert Luthuli, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, F. W. de Klerk, and Nelson Mandela.

We enjoyed listening to many very good street musicians.

Zeitz MOCAA Museum - The old grain silos were transformed into a state-of-the-art museum.

They cut out grain silo walls to create a huge entry hall space. A kernel of corn was the inspiration for the shape.

Looking up to the top of the silos.

The roof top terrace - glass covers the silo tops. It is very unnerving to look down 12 stories.

Fashion display in the museum.
