Truth to Power: Desmond Tutu & The Churches

In the struggle against apartheid

About the exhibition

A new and exciting permanent exhibition celebrating key aspects of the legacy of the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tutu has entered Cape Town’s cultural heritage precinct.

A first of its kind on the African continent, the state-of-the-art exhibition explores the multi-faceted life of this loved and respected global icon. The exhibition is housed at the historic Old Granary building, the home of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation and was curated in partnership with the Apartheid Museum.

About the exhibition

Residents and visitors to Cape Town alike are invited to come and experience the journey of one of South Africa’s greatest sons.

Upon entering the main exhibition, you will be greeted by the Arch and his anchor, his wife Nomalizo Leah Tutu, a life-long enabler to all his significant contributions in South Africa and globally. A special tribute to them as a couple is celebrated in the room entitled ”Side by Side”.
