Founded in 2016 by Christian and Stephanie Utz, the Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art (MUCA) is Germany’s first museum dedicated to urban and contemporary art. Housed in a former electrical substation, MUCA is a stone’s throw from Marienplatz, in the centre of Munich. MUCA’s mission is to integrate urban art into the contemporary art discourse and to exhibit the most celebrated artists of the 20th and 21st century. Since its inception, MUCA has become a leading authority in collection building, with a focus on housing significant works by artists renowned for using the urban landscape as part of their practice. The MUCA collection now holds over 1,200 art works and is well acknowledged as one of the most important collections of urban and contemporary art in Europe. It has progressively expanded over 25 years to include works from Pop Art to New Realism, covering themes including art in the urban environment, figurative painting, and socio-political issues.
