About the Museum of Contemporary Art La Jolla

The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD), located in La Jolla, focuses on displaying art from 1950 to the present.

As a key institution in a border city, MCASD emphasizes the connection between the artistic communities of San Diego and Tijuana, reflecting its unique binational mandate through diverse exhibitions and collections.

With two locations, one in La Jolla and another in Downtown San Diego (temporarily closed), MCASD offers visitors a wide-ranging experience.

The museum features a permanent collection of nearly 5,500 works and includes significant pieces from renowned contemporary artists. Through its exhibitions and installations, MCASD explores themes of identity, culture, and border dynamics.
