Event information
The Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation presents a new and exciting permanent exhibition celebrating key aspects of the legacy of the late Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu.
'Truth to Power: Desmond Tutu & The Churches in the Struggle Against Apartheid' is 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.
Residents and visitors to Cape Town alike are encouraged to visit and experience the journey of one of South Africa’s greatest sons. Upon entering the main exhibition, visitors are greeted by images of Tutu (fondly known locally as 'the Arch') and his anchor, his wife Nomalizo Leah Tutu, a lifelong 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'.
