Short Description of the Institution: Museum of Contemporary Art in Novi Sad was founded as the Gallery of Contemporary Art in accordance with the decision of the Assembly of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina on February 1, 1966. Since the Gallery was performing the functions in the scale and character of that of a museum, the name of the institution was changed to the Museum of Contemporary Art in 1996. The Museum's mission is to collect, preserve, explore and display the works of modern and contemporary art from Vojvodina primarily. Its function and scope of activity make this Museum the only institution of this kind in Vojvodina. The museum collection consists of paintings, sculptures, graphics, drawings and works of conceptual art and new expanded media of the second half of the 20th century in Vojvodina. The museum collection also comprises several large donations from artists from Vojvodina. The Library and Art Documentation Department have rich holdings and specialised publications relevant to research on events of significance to the works held in the Museum. Since its foundation, the Museum has not had its own space either for organizing its periodical exhibitions or for housing its permanent collection of the 20th and 21st century art from Vojvodina. In order to secure their display, the Museum rented space in the Sport and Business Centre "Vojvodina" from 1984 until September 1999, when it was unfortunately evicted. Since June 2001, the Museum's exhibitions have been organized in the Museum of the Socialist Revolution whenever permitted by its event calendar. Meanwhile, the Museum's offices, art repository, library and documentation are still located in the Municipal Court and Geoplan buildings (21 Jevrejska Street).
