About Us

Located in downtown Chicago, the Museum of Contemporary Art is one of the nation's largest facilities devoted to the art of our time. The Museum of Contemporary Art offers exhibitions of the most thought provoking art created since 1945. It documents contemporary visual culture through painting, sculpture, photography, video and film, and performance.

Plan a visit to the museum and explore the gift store, bookstore, restaurant, 300-seat theater, and a terraced sculpture garden with a great view of Lake Michigan.

The Museum of Contemporary Art Collection has outstanding examples of visual art from 1945 to the present with a strong focus on surrealism, minimalism, conceptual photography, and work by Chicago-based artists. These highlights from the 2,345 objects in the collection are arranged alphabetically by artist’s last name and range in media from painting, sculpture, and photography to installation and video. Each object is accompanied by an image and a short description. Although not represented here, the MCA also has nearly 2,500 examples in its collection of artists’ books.
