Africa's biggest modern art gallery opens in Cape Town

Africa's largest gallery for contemporary art from the continent and its diaspora has opened in the South African city of Cape Town.

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz Mocaa) is set inside old grain silos on the V&A Waterfront.

The building has been converted by UK designer Thomas Heatherwick into a maze of rooms with bulbous windows.

Visitors are greeted by a giant flying dragon made of rubber, created by South African artist Nicholas Hlobo.

Entrance to the public, not-for-profit museum will be free for African passport holders at certain times of the week.
