Montana Museum of Art & Culture

The Montana Museum of Art & Culture acquires and preserves art that expresses the spirit of the American West and its relationship to the larger world. As a university and state museum, MMAC presents exhibitions and educational programs that explore local, regional and global themes. The MMAC is one of the state's oldest and most prominent cultural reserves. The museum's Permanent Collection, begun in 1894, includes more than 11.000 original works. MMAC, formerly the Museum of Fine Arts, became a state museum in 2001 and is part of the new School of Visual and Media Arts.
