Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa

Outline
A grain silo that was built in the 1920s and finished its role in the 1990s has been transformed into an exhibition facility for contemporary African art. While retaining the exterior as industrial remains, the 42 silos standing in the forest were transformed into an exhibition space, including a symbolic atrium hollowed out in the shape of an enlarged grain of corn.
