Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo – MUAC
MUAC was opened in 2008 in “University City” (Ciudad Universitaria), the main campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico in Mexico City.
Av. Insurgentes Sur 3000, C.U., Coyoacán
Designed by prestigious Mexican architect, Teodoro González de León, the MUAC is a university museum conceived as a space for the exchange of knowledge and the continuous creation of new ideas, experiences, and meaningful learning opportunities among visitors, artists, curators, museographers, researchers, and academics.
It develops community projects and fosters critical thinking, using contemporary art as a shared language. Its educational programme aims to engage and cultivate new audiences for the museum.
