After years of planning and construction, the Montana Museum of Art and Culture (MMAC) has finally opened its doors to the public.

The new MMAC building, which cost $15 million to construct, spans three stories and houses the museum's nearly 12,000-object collection. The museum's collection, which has been hidden for decades, is currently being moved and catalogued from the vault under the PARTV building to the new space.
Rafael Chacon, director of the MMAC, emphasizes the importance of the new space for both exhibiting and educating with the collection. The MMAC is currently displaying 400 pieces from its collection, with plans to rotate the collection over the course of the next two years, followed by curated exhibitions based on the Permanent Collection.
The ground floor of the new MMAC building is dedicated to classroom space and collection access, with educational outreach events set to see significant improvements with the new building. According to Chacon, the new location has been an incredible benefit to both the museum and the community, with increased attendance and many visitors being students.
The official opening of the MMAC was on Sept. 28, and since then, the museum has been receiving long-deserved attention. Chacon stated that the museum has been receiving many visitors, with many being students from the university. The MMAC's new location has been an asset to the community, providing a space for both education and appreciation of art.
The MMAC's collection includes a wide range of artworks, from paintings and sculptures to photographs and textiles. The museum plans to use its new space to showcase its remarkable collection to the public, fulfilling the long-promised chance for the public to see its collection.
The new MMAC building displays 400 pieces at a time, with plans to rotate the collection every few months. This will allow visitors to see a variety of artworks and gain a better understanding of the museum's collection. The MMAC's rotating collection and curated exhibitions based on its Permanent Collection promise to provide a unique and engaging experience for visitors.
