Museum of Contemporary Art Australia

The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia (MCA) is a leading contemporary art museum located at 140 George Street in The Rocks, on Sydney Harbour at Circular Quay West. Housed in the heritage-listed former Maritime Services Board Building with a modern extension, it presents Australian and international contemporary art. Notable for its free general admission, harbour views, and strong focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, it is a major cultural institution in Sydney.

Visitors can expect a harbourside museum with multiple gallery levels displaying rotating contemporary art exhibitions, including painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation by Australian and international artists, with a strong representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. The building combines a 1950s Art Deco heritage structure and a modern extension with harbour-facing terraces, a rooftop cafe and sculpture terrace, a museum shop, and spaces for guided tours, talks and workshops overlooking Circular Quay and Sydney Harbour.
