The MAMCS houses an extensive collection of nearly 18,500 objects, including paintings, sculptures, graphics, video art, and design pieces. The collection spans from the period of 1870, the era of Impressionism, to the present day, offering a comprehensive overview of modern and contemporary art.
The MAMCS organizes numerous exhibitions each year. These exhibitions are dedicated either to the work of a specific artist or to the retrospective of a particular artistic movement. This provides visitors with the opportunity to explore different aspects of modern and contemporary art in depth.
The MAMCS is conveniently located on the edge of the old town, near the École nationale d’administration and the architecturally significant baroque “Barrage Vauban” and medieval “Ponts couverts”. It is easily accessible by the Strasbourg tram, which has a dedicated stop for the museum ("Musée d’Art moderne", Line B and C). This makes it an easy and convenient destination for tourists visiting Strasbourg.
