Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, MARCO Information

The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, MARCO, is one of Latin America's leading cultural centers, which targets its efforts at promoting international contemporary art, with a particular bent towards Latin American visual arts. MARCO opens its doors June 28, 1991, with the grand exhibition Mito y Magia en América: Los Ochenta. It has since showcased the works of the most renowned contemporary artists, become a stage for young artistic talent, and seeks to assemble one of the world's preeminent permanent contemporary art collections. MARCO is a place that accommodates the full range of artistic expression, as well as a meeting point for contemporary art trends; thus, in addition to the plastic arts, literature, music, film, video, and dance have also found a place in this Museum. It is a space for creating, learning, reflecting; for disseminating art. It is a museum to enjoy, to experiment, to roam.
