Cape Town has been ranked as one of the top centers of culture globally, outshining iconic cities like Paris, New York, and Amsterdam. This ranking was based on a global survey of city dwellers’ perception of the quality and costeffectiveness of each city’s cultural landscape. Cape Town’s cultural dynamism has greatly expanded in the past decade, largely due to the inception of premier institutions like the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and the Norval Foundation. This achievement serves as an inspiration for other cities, proving that a vibrant cultural landscape can be established without being financially daunting.
