While its home in the heart of the Quartier des spectacles undergoes a major architectural transformation, the Museum has been temporarily housed at Place Ville Marie, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Mission Canada’s premier museum dedicated exclusively to contemporary art, the MAC is committed to demonstrating the fundamental role played by contemporary art in our society. To achieve this, it offers visitors a range of artistic and educational activities that familiarize the general public with contemporary art.

Vision Truly a museum for the twenty-first century, the MAC aims to be accessible, trailblazing and visionary; a vibrant place of dialogue and discovery bringing together contemporary art, local and international artists and their works, and all different kinds of audience. The museum is also a versatile place, open to every form of expression: digital and sound works, installations, paintings, sculptures, ephemeral pieces, performances and more. Today more than ever, the MAC wants to reaffirm its leadership role and convince a continually growing public of the essential contribution made by contemporary art in asserting and developing our culture, and the clear value it holds for our society.
