Really enjoyed visiting the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia! Even if you’re not usually into contemporary art, it’s a fascinating place to explore and experience different perspectives through creative and thought-provoking exhibitions.nnI loved how diverse the artworks were, ranging from paintings and sculptures to immersive installations that encouraged visitors to interact and reflect. Every gallery felt unique, and there was always something unexpected around the corner.nnThe location is also fantastic, right by Circular Quay with beautiful harbour views. Be sure to visit the rooftop café, the view of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge is absolutely stunning. A great place to spend a few hours soaking in art, culture, and some of the best views in Sydney.
View @ Museum Of Contemporary Art Australia.n.nDedicated to the 'art of now', this tall art-deco style museum opened in 1991, on the traditional land of the Aboriginal Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.n.nThe quirky exhibits here invoke thought, leveraging multimedia, colours, stories, and soundscapes to jog the imagination.n.nExhibits are regularly refreshed so there's always something new. During our visit, the highlights included the 'Data Dreams: Art And AI' series of AI art, 'Yasmin Smith: Elemental Life' of zen-like ceramic sculptures, 'Loop. A Model Of How The World Operates' light installation with painting by Brook Andrew, and the 'Tjanpi Desert Weavers' sculpture series.
It’s been 20 years since I had been to the MCA, and I won’t be back in the next 20.nA $25 admission fee adult, no concession.nIn a five story building they have only 3 levels of exhibition. Each of these are rally half floors because of all the lecture theatres, cafes, media rooms etc.nAnd one of the floors was shut - preparing for a new exhibition.nDo that it the admission fee because there is one third less exhibition space. Nup.nIn fact, they have recently put the price of admission up.nThis represents such poor value for money.nAnd the exhibitions - seriously!nCeramic replicas of drift wood, videos of paint being poured? You must be having a lend.nAnd the pièce de résistance was a video of a plastic shopping bag expanding from being a crumpled ball.nAlthough, it was tightly fought battle for the premier display - with a wall being painted in a hand made paint by an artist. Seriously?nI cannot believe tax payer dollars goes into such dross.
Surprised at how little art there is at MCA. Didn’t feel very inspired by what is there although, I did enjoy some of the work in the Primavera 2026 exhibit- especially the film by Stanton Cornish-Ward & Trent Crawford.nPut more on the walls!!!
The museum used to be free and had interesting exhibitions. Now it’s $25 to view two mostly empty galleries that took less than a hour to view. I don’t mind paying to see art, but the exhibitions were underwhelming for the price.
