Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey
One of Latin America's most important contemporary art museums. Its Ricardo Legorreta–designed building and giant bronze dove sculpture are its landmarks.
The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey (MARCO) was designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta and opened in 1991. It is known for its large colored walls and central water courtyard. The giant bronze dove at the entrance is the work of Juan Soriano. The museum mainly presents temporary exhibitions of Mexican and Latin American contemporary art, and its curatorial standards are high. It is closed on Mondays.
