Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Campo Grande, Museu em Campo Grande, Brasil
The Museu de Arte Contemporânea is an art museum in Campo Grande located within the Parque das Nações Indígenas with five large exhibition halls. One hall displays works from the permanent collection, while four others feature rotating temporary exhibitions that change throughout the year.
The museum was established in 1991 by government decree and occupied temporary locations before moving to its current building in 2002, designed by architect Emmanuel de Oliveira. Its collection originates from the Pinacoteca Estadual and has grown through donations from artists and collectors.
The museum displays the artistic development of Mato Grosso do Sul through works by local, national, and international artists. Its exhibitions promote cultural exchange and highlight regional talents whose work reflects local history and identity.
The museum is easily accessible within the spacious park grounds on the outskirts of the city with clear orientation. Visitors should note that opening hours vary by day and it is advisable to check ahead as the museum may be closed for renovations.
Campo Grande was the only Brazilian capital city to host tapestries by renowned Chilean artist Violeta Parra, reflecting the museum's international reach and commitment to artistic exchange. This connection highlights how the institution brings significant artworks from beyond regional borders.
