Museum of Modern Art of Algiers, Contemporary art museum in central Algiers, Algeria
The Museum of Modern Art of Algiers spans five levels in a neo-moorish building, displaying contemporary artworks from Algerian and international artists.
The structure, built between 1901 and 1909 by architect Henri Petit, initially functioned as the Galeries de France department store before its transformation into a museum.
The museum coordinates exhibitions, workshops, and educational programs that connect local communities with modern artistic expressions from Algeria and abroad.
Located at 25 Larbi Ben M'hidi Street, the museum maintains regular exhibitions and provides guided tours for visitors interested in contemporary art.
The renovation preserved original architectural elements while adapting the former commercial space into specialized galleries for modern art installations.
