The Museum of Contemporary Art of Lima (Spanish: Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Lima, MAC Lima) is an art museum dedicated to contemporary art located in Barranco District, Lima, Peru.
History[edit]
The museum was preceded by the Institute of Contemporary Art (Spanish: Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo, IAC), which was itself inaugurated in 1955 in the former premises of the Galería de Lima in the jirón Ocoña.[2] Its inauguration was attended by figures such as José Sabogal, Fernando de Szyszlo and others.[3] It later moved to the Casa Mujica in the Calle Belén in 1966. Between 1969 and 1972, it occupied the premises of the Museum of Italian Art, and in 1981, plans began for a contemporary art museum.[2]
The museum was formally inaugurated in late January 2013.[4]
