Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo, Contemporary art museum in Montevideo, Uruguay.

The Espacio de Arte Contemporáneo occupies sections of a former prison complex, featuring rotating exhibitions of national and international contemporary artists throughout its galleries.

The building transformed from Miguelete Prison, which operated between 1889 and 1986, into a cultural institution under Uruguay's National Directorate of Culture.

The museum functions as an educational center with intensive seminars, workshops, and exhibitions that connect visitors with current trends in contemporary art creation.

Visitors can explore the museum galleries from Thursday through Saturday between 14:00 and 20:00, or on Sundays from 11:00 until 17:00.

The institution maintains records of over 60,000 visits and presents exhibitions like 'Árbol Genealógico de Sirénidos posibles e imposibles' in its converted prison spaces.

Opening Hours: Jueves-Sábado 14:00-20:00; Domingo 11:00-17:00
