Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (also known as MCA Australia) is a contemporary art museum in Sydney, at 140 George Street in the city centre. It presents rotating exhibitions by both Australian and international artists, so the programme you find on any given visit is likely to differ from the last.
What to expect
- Changing exhibitions of contemporary art, drawn from local and overseas practice
- A historic Art Deco building, which makes the visit as much about the setting as the works on show
- Views towards the harbour from parts of the building
The museum suits visitors who enjoy contemporary art, and anyone interested in how a historic building can house new work. Because the exhibitions rotate, it is worth checking what is on before you plan your trip.
The area around it
George Street places the museum within walking distance of much of central Sydney, so it fits easily into a day of sightseeing. Combining a visit with a harbour walk is a natural way to see the city's waterfront along with its art.
