Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Salta, Art museum in central Salta, Argentina.
The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Salta is an art museum inaugurated on 26 June 2004 in the city of Salta, Argentina. It functions as a centre for contemporary visual arts, with an annual programme of rotating exhibitions and a growing collection of contemporary art.
The museum was founded in 2004 and marked a turning point in the cultural development of the northern province. The opening brought a new venue for artistic work to the region.
The museum serves as a space where contemporary art forms are explored and displayed. Visitors can see how local and international artists present their works and engage in conversation through their creations.
The museum opens Tuesday to Sunday and on public holidays from 9:00 to 19:00, and stays closed on Mondays. When a holiday falls on a Monday, it opens that day and closes the following Tuesday instead. It runs workshops, talks, conferences, seminars and clinics for visual artists and the general public.
In 2007 the Argentine Association of Art Critics named the MAC Museum of the Year, an award that recognised the young institution's exhibition programme three years after its opening. The museum also runs workshops, talks, seminars and clinics for visual artists and the general public.
