Museum of Contemporary Art, Vigo, Contemporary art museum in central Vigo, Spain
The MARCO museum occupies a 10,000-square-meter building with a circular central space surrounded by exhibition halls dedicated to temporary art displays.
The nineteenth-century structure, designed by architect José María Ortiz y Sánchez in 1861, initially functioned as both a prison and courthouse for the city.
The museum presents exhibitions focusing on multiple forms of contemporary expression, including plastic arts, architecture, video installations, design, and fashion.
Located on Príncipe Street, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM and 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM with free admission.
The building faced potential demolition in the 1990s before local architects and historians intervened, leading to its transformation into an art museum in 2002.
