The Museum of Contemporary Art is Australia's only museum dedicated to exhibiting, interpreting and collecting contemporary art from across Australia and around the world. With a continually changing program of exhibitions there's always something new, exciting and inspiring to see at the MCA.
The Museum of Contemporary Art was established to fulfil the museum aspect of the visionary bequest of Australian expatriate artist John Power (1881-1943), who left his personal fortune to the University of Sydney to inform and educate Australians in the contemporary visual arts.
The MCA was officially opened in November 1991, in the Art Deco-style former Maritime Services Board Building (built 1952) on the eastern edge of Circular Quay
Free guided tours of exhibitions are conducted daily by MCA Volunteer Guides.
