MAMCO
Since 1994, the MAMCO Geneva has developed an original form of museography.
MAMCO Geneva (Musée d’art moderne et contemporain), devoted to the art of our era places art and artists at its hearth and is addressed at all publics. It offers historical journeys through several exhibitions articulated around a main project, renewed three times a year.
Established in a disused factory, purchased by the City of Geneva, the spaces of the MAMCO are spread over 3,500 m2, thus making it currently the largest museum devoted to contemporary art in Switzerland.
Mainly working with art from since the 1960s, MAMCO bases its action on several principles: a conception of the museum as a “global exhibition” which brings together temporary exhibitions an its permanent collections; a variation in the types of spaces and displays to evoke the history of museums; a “collection of artists’ spaces”; and, finally, a regular attention to the Genevan and Swiss scenes.
