University Museum of Contemporary Art

The museum features over 8,000 artworks across spacious exhibition halls with high ceilings designed by architect Teodoro González de León in Mexico City.

Established in 2008 within the National Autonomous University of Mexico campus, MUAC became the first Mexican public museum dedicated to 21st-century art.

The collection emphasizes artwork created after 1968, marking significant events like the student movement and includes pieces from Francis Alÿs and Gabriel Orozco.

Located at Insurgentes Sur 3000, the museum offers guided tours, wheelchair access, a restaurant, and can be reached via Line 3 metro to Universidad station.

The exterior features La Espiga, an 18-meter carbon steel sculpture by Rufino Tamayo, standing prominently on the museum's esplanade.
