Completed in May 2012, this is one of the leading museums of African art on the continent. Although it has an extraordinary collection of 10,000 works – which it shares with the Johannesburg Art Gallery – you'll only see a tiny fraction here, as there is a dynamic program of events and exhibitions including ones of international artists.

With its clean, modern lines, the space will also appeal to architecture buffs.
