Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) holds one of the largest collections of contemporary art from Africa and its mission is to make art more accessible, digestible and enjoyable for everyone, irrespective of their background, art knowledge or income.
To create a memorable museum experience that is inspiring, dynamic and user-friendly, Zeitz MOCAA has paired up with advertising agency M&C Saatchi Abel to look at innovative ways for visitors to easily navigate the seven floors and over 60 galleries inside the museum.
By utilising the powerful tool of social media, Zeitz MOCAA has launched the world’s first museum Insta Map. A dynamic, constantly changing, immersive and inspirational map that guides visitors through the museum.
Once visitors arrive at the museum, they can scan the QR code or go directly to the dedicated Instagram page and start exploring the Insta Map. It gives visitors a quick overview of what is happening on the different floors, which key artworks are where, and even where the toilets are. For short visits, there is a 2-hour Insta tour and also a guide to the most Instagrammable spots in the museum.
This Insta Map allows Zeitz MOCAA to connect with both their new and existing audiences, whilst also educating visitors on unfamiliar topics through a platform they are familiar with.
South African locals or friends from across the world are invited to come visit the iconic Zeitz MOCAA and to experience the Insta Map firsthand.
