History

The museum, a towering 100,000 square foot space, opened in September 2017. It was named after Jochen Zeitz, the former CEO of Puma, who lent his name and vast private collection. Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, the space is dedicated to contemporary African art and is the largest museum – comprising more than 100 galleries over nine floors – to open on the continent in more than a century. It focuses exclusively on 21st-century work from Africa and the diaspora, centred around Zeits’ private collection.
