Museum of Contemporary Art of Queretaro

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Querétaro displays rotating exhibitions of paintings, sculptures, and multimedia installations across fourteen gallery spaces. Each room features different spatial arrangements that provide artists with varied possibilities for presenting their work.

The institution opened in 2018 within the former Convent of Santa Cruz, a religious building with centuries of history. This conversion transformed a sacred space into a venue for displaying modern artistic expressions.

The museum functions as a meeting place where local and Mexican artists can connect directly with visitors through their work. Exhibitions here reflect conversations about contemporary life and artistic expression that resonate with the community.

The museum sits in the historic center where Manuel Acuña and Reforma Street meet, making it straightforward to locate. Visitors can explore the exhibitions without paying admission and discover new shows throughout the year.

The gallery spaces were intentionally designed with varying proportions and layouts to encourage artists to experiment with light and sound. This approach produces installations and displays that feel distinctly different from those in conventional museums.
