Profile
The Museum of Contemporary Art is a museum for contemporary art and the newest art forms from the 1950s up to today. The museum was founded in 1991 and became state recognized in 1994 and has as its primary mission to document, collect and communicate contemporary art.
The museum's original logo includes the words "Word, Image, Sound", which refers to the museum's basic idea of working with art that transcends the classical art forms: visual arts, theater, music, literature and film.
The idea of placing the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde arose in the mid 1980s. After some years of preparatory work, the museum opened in 1991. The museum was state recognized in 1994 and operates today by grants from Roskilde City Council and the state.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is located in the Royal Palace (The Yellow Palace) in Roskilde.
