North Miami Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in North Miami, United States

The Museum of Contemporary Art occupies a 23,000-square-foot (2,100 m2) building in North Miami designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects of New York City. It opened in 1996, after the permanent collection was established in 1995, and holds roughly 400 works.

The Museum of Contemporary Art began in 1981 as the Center for Contemporary Art, occupying a single gallery space. Its permanent collection was established in 1995, and in 1996 the museum opened a 23,000-square-foot building designed by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates Architects of New York. Art historian and curator Bonnie Clearwater directed the institution from 1993 to 2013.

The museum's name reflects its focus on art made since the mid-20th century, and its collection grew from a 1995 decision to collect rather than only exhibit. A 2008 grant of $5 million from the Knight Exhibition Series funds shows by emerging artists, lectures, performances and film screenings. The Optic Nerve film series has presented over 220 artists, many showing publicly for the first time.

The museum stands at 770 NE 125th Street in North Miami, in a 23,000-square-foot building by Gwathmey Siegel & Associates. Its galleries are indoors, so visits do not depend on weather; check current opening days before travelling, since the schedule varies through the week.

In 2008 the Knight Exhibition Series gave MOCA a $5 million endowment, funding shows by emerging artists plus lectures, performances and film screenings. The Optic Nerve film series has featured over 220 artists, many presenting publicly for the first time.
