Museu de Arte e de Cultura Popular, University art and popular culture museum in Cuiabá, Brazil

The Museu de Arte e de Cultura Popular (MACP-UFMT) is a university museum of the Federal University of Mato Grosso, housed since 1999 in the Centro Cultural on the Cuiabá campus. It has a single exhibition room named after founder Aline Figueiredo, plus a lobby, production room, secretariat, supervision, administration, depot and two bathrooms. Its collection held about 323 works by 2010 and still receives donations.

The museum grew out of the CIAP (Centro de Informação e Artes Plásticas), a survey of Mato Grosso's arts approved by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 1973 and articulated by Aline Figueiredo, Humberto Espíndola and Therezinha de Jesus Arruda. The MACP was created in January 1974, three and a half years after the federal university's founding, with Espíndola as first director and Figueiredo as founder. It moved several times before gaining its own building in the Centro Cultural in 1999.

The museum's name and mission centre on popular culture, and its Ateliê Livre, installed on the UFMT campus in 1981, taught painting, drawing, ceramics, collage, printmaking and digital art to people outside the university. Its first director was the painter Humberto Espíndola, with Aline Figueiredo as founder; the exhibition room bears her name.

The museum occupies part of the Centro Cultural on the UFMT Cuiabá campus, and its single exhibition room is named after founder Aline Figueiredo. The Ateliê Livre accepts people who are not enrolled at the university, a policy kept since 1981. The building also holds a lobby, a production room, a secretariat, supervision, administration and a storage area.
