MACA Contemporary Art Museum of Alicante

MACA – A Peaceful Cultural Gem in Alicante Well! What a lovely surprise. MACA is a calm and beautifully curated space with a great selection of contemporary artworks. Whether you’re into art or just curious, it’s an enjoyable stop. Best of all? It’s free to visit, making it a perfect cultural break while exploring the city. The atmosphere is peaceful, the building itself is elegant, and the collection is surprisingly engaging. If you’re in Alicante, definitely pass by—art lover or not. It’s worth your time.

Quite interesting museum. Space is filled with exhibitions in a very artistic way, gives you the opportunity to explore on you own and experience the art in its finest. I’m impressed

We visited the MACA museum in Alicante today and were genuinely blown away. We weren’t quite sure what to expect, but the ground floor exhibition was something special—it completely grabbed us from the moment we walked in. The main display right now is by Kara Walker, and it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. The room is filled with large black-and-white silhouette artworks that tell a story—some of it dark, some of it emotional, and all of it incredibly powerful. It’s based on themes around slavery and freedom, using the idea of the Emancipation Proclamation from American history, but presented in such a striking and creative way. You don't need to know anything beforehand to feel the impact. Some of the images are intense, but that’s what makes them so thought-provoking. They really make you stop and think—not just about the past, but about how those stories still matter today. The rest of the museum is also well worth exploring. There’s a great mix of modern Spanish art, including big names like Picasso and Miró, as well as local artists like Eusebio Sempere. The building itself is beautiful—modern inside but with an old historic shell, right in the heart of the old town. Best of all, entry is free, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It’s a peaceful space, perfect for escaping the heat and spending an hour or two thinking and exploring something new. If you’re in Alicante, definitely take the time to visit MACA. It’s not just a museum—it’s an experience.

This museum has many levels. Lifts to all. Great to visit as it is free. Space changes and exhibit areas. New exhibition this year2024. Pictures are added today, 13th Dec2024 It has plenty of open space and interesting work. The work is contemporary, you will need an open mind. Toilets are clean. Museum light and comfortable. Place to store bag, token given from reception. There is a very special picture not to be missed whe my nyiu go th the toilets. It is enormous and incredibly mind bending. It was my favourite piece as it comprisses of the world and it's overwhelming abilities to consume.

Loved that museum. Very interesting, thought provoking exhibitions and clear layout. The entrance is free.

A wonderful art museum. We visited in the evening and it was not at all busy. Interesting art work and a lovely space. Definitely worth a visit.

Museum of Modern Art. There are also works by Picasso, when I visited the gallery, works by Picasso were restored, conservation. Never mind, I love Alicante, I'll come in March and see the complete exhibition. Admission to the gallery is free.

Entry free. Beautiful light and airy art gallery well augmenting and sympathetic to many of the exhibits. I really wish I had made a repeat visit whilst I was here, as the overall experience encapsulated how I felt about Alicante generally: laid back generous friendly and aesthetically intelligent
