The Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art (Spanish: ''Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Santiago'' or ''MAC'') is located in Santiago, Chile. It is one of the city’s major museums, created in 1947, and is run by the University of Chile Faculty of Arts. Since 2005, the museum has had two separate sites: MAC Parque Forestal and MAC Quinta Normal Park. The museum specializes in modern and contemporary art and focuses on the development, study, and dissemination of modern art through exhibitions and other activities. It also concentrates on protecting the cultural heritage that forms its collection, which is made up by over 2,000 pieces and files. One of the museum’s sites is located in Parque Forestal behind the Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts ((スペイン語:Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes)) and sharing its grand ''Palacio de Bellas Artes'' building. The other site is located in Quinta Normal Park. ==History== The museum was created by law in 1946, and inaugurated on August 15, 1947, in the building known as ''El Partenón'' in Quinta Normal Park. Its main purpose was to promote and serve as a platform for spread the work of contemporary artists, as part of the University of Chile’s policy to contribute to the development of cultural life in Chilean society.〔(MAC, tiempo, historia, contemporaneid ) www.mac.uchile.cl Gonzalo Arqueros Retrieved April 13, 2013〕 In 1974, the museum moved to the building of the ''Palacio de Bellas Artes'' (Fine Arts Palace) in Parque Forestal, where it is still located today. In its six decades, the museum has collected many works by Chilean artists as well as some international pieces. Its collection originated from its first exhibition, to which both Chilean and foreign artists resident in Chile loaned their works - and later donated some of them permanently. The valuable heritage has been growing over the years, mainly through donation, purchase and competitions held to add more pieces to the collection. The museum collection currently holds around 2,000 pieces. The most complete and important are its collections of nearly 1,000 engravings and nearly 600 paintings, with another 130 drawings, watercolours and sketches and some 80 sculptures completing the collection. The pieces date from the late 19th century through to the modern day, and include the work of artists such as Roberto Matta, Nemesio Antúnez, Matilde Pérez, José Balmes and important international art figures as Oswaldo Guayasamín (Ecuador), Emilio Pettoruti (Argentina), Friedensreich Hundertwasser (Austria), Isamu Noguchi (USA), David Batchelor (England), Jesús Ruiz Nestosa (Paraguay) and Dino Bruzzone (Argentina). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
