Palacio Versailles, Contemporary art museum in Barrio Bellas Artes, Chile.
Museo de Arte Contemporaneo is a museum with two locations in Santiago: MAC Parque Forestal and MAC Quinta Normal, both featuring rotating exhibitions of contemporary works throughout the year. The dual locations allow the institution to offer a diverse and constantly evolving program of contemporary art.
The institution was founded in 1947 as part of the University of Chile's Faculty of Arts, establishing itself as an early center for contemporary art. In 1974 it relocated to the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Parque Forestal, settling into a significant architectural landmark.
The museum displays works by Chilean and international artists that visitors encounter throughout the exhibition spaces. The pieces span from modern times to the present, reflecting diverse artistic expressions and creative approaches.
The two locations welcome visitors from Tuesday to Sunday, with both sites easily accessible in Santiago. Planning a visit is straightforward since the hours are consistent and the museum is centrally located throughout the city.
The museum maintains a collection of audio files on an online platform documenting exhibitions, workshops, and cultural programs. This sound collection allows visitors to explore the museum's programs even after their visit.
