Neumofagia, 2012 artist Adán Vallecillo
Founded in 1994, The Museum of Contemporary Art and Design is an “open multiple space.” To comply with this ambitious idea, the institution defines and promotes, in a permanent way, the most recent tendencies and dynamics in the world of contemporary art and design throughout the Central American region, thus reinforcing their links within the Latin American and International context.
The Museum’s permanent collection has an important holding of Central American contemporary art, with renowned Costa Rican, Central American and international artists. These include a mixture of techniques and art languages: from painting, etching, drawing, and sculpture, to photography, installation, the intervened object, and video. The Museum’s website includes a growing list and online archive of Central American artists.
