Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA)

140 George Street,
The Rocks,
Sydney

The Museum of Contemporary Art was opened in 1991 and is located in the Central Business District of Sydney. It is the only museum in Australia which displays, interprets and shows contemporary art from all over the world.

The J W Power Collection is the largest collection within the museum. John Power had kept his personal collection of art in the University of Sydney so that it could be used by the students and it later went on to create the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney.

The museum houses around 7,000 objects and has various permanent collections displaying works by Australian artists and other famous artists from all over the world. There are also sculptures, post-modern art, Aboriginal art and temporary exhibitions.
