Why the MUCA is worth a visit:
The MUCA is Germany's first museum for urban art. It wants to contribute to the historical acknowledgement of the urban street art scene and help to recognize it as an art movement of its own.
What to see? There are alternating exhibitions with the works of renowned, internationally celebrated artists: Currently you can check out the jubilee exhibition "25 Years" and the impressive tape art by Max Zorn.
What's special? The Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art is also an eye-catcher from the outside: The facades of the museum are decorated with large-scale artworks.

Diverse art platform with exhibitions about urban art
MUCA's philosophy is to function as an open institution for art enthusiasts. Designed as a modern place of encounter, urban and contemporary art meet here and find a platform in the museum landscape. There are "art experience levels" and "mood areas" with internationally known artists as well as new and experimental formats. Among the most popular areas:
The walls of the museum: In early September 2022, the MUCA became part of the worldwide "Inside Out" project, initiated by the French artist JR. Many interested citizens had their photos taken on the grounds of the MUCA to participate. The artist's team pasted almost 400 individual portraits on the "MUCA Giant Wall".
The MUCA Bunker: The former air-raid shelter from 1941 was converted several times after World War II: It already served as a bunker hotel and a nightclub – and is now an art bunker.
The "MUCA Collection": In the MUCA main building, numerous works by renowned, internationally celebrated artists can be seen permanently on three floors. With over 1.200 works and objects, the MUCA Collection is one of the most important collections of urban art in Europe.

History of the Museum of Urban and Contemporary Art
After a one-year renovation, the MUCA opened its doors to the public in 2016 in a former transformer station of Munich's public utility company: Germany's first museum for urban art.
Founded by the two art lovers and spouses Stephanie and Christian Utz, the private museum aims to include urban art into the contemporary art discourse.
Particular emphasis is put on the museum's own collection. MUCA has always aimed to preserve artworks that originate from the ephemeral urban ecosystem. The beginnings of the MUCA collection go back to 1998, and today the MUCA collection includes significant works by artists from the fields of urban and contemporary art.
