Museum of Contemporary Art, Vigo, Contemporary art museum in central Vigo, Spain
The MARCO is an art museum in Vigo with a modern, functional layout spread across multiple exhibition spaces. The building is organized around a central area that connects the different galleries throughout the structure.
The building dates from the 19th century and originally served as a prison and courthouse for the city. It was converted into an art museum in the early 2000s.
The museum presents contemporary art forms ranging from painting and sculpture to video installations, design, and fashion. Visitors can observe how local and international artists work with modern media and respond to current social themes.
The museum is centrally located in Vigo and opens several days per week with morning and evening hours. Visitors should be prepared for multiple levels and different access points, as the building has several stories.
The building faced demolition in the 1990s until local architects and historians stepped in to save it from destruction. This rescue effort made its transformation into a thriving exhibition space possible.
