Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville, Contemporary art museum in Downtown Jacksonville, United States.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville occupies a converted telegraph building and presents rotating exhibitions of works by national and international artists across three floors. The collection contains around 800 artworks created since 1960.
The institution began in 1924 as the Jacksonville Fine Arts Society and relocated to the former Western Union Telegraph Building in 1999. This move allowed the organization to expand and focus its mission on contemporary art.
The museum serves as a community gathering place where exhibitions and public events help visitors engage with current artistic movements and diverse creative perspectives.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, with evening hours extending until 9 PM on Thursdays and free entry during monthly Art Walk events. Visitors should note that gallery spaces are accessible and clearly marked for easy navigation.
The museum operates as an educational center affiliated with the University of North Florida, bridging academic research with contemporary artistic practice. This connection between scholarship and creative work shapes the character of its exhibitions and programs.
