Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art

The Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art (CAAC) is a museum dedicated to contemporary art located in Seville, under the Ministry of Culture of the Junta de Andalucia. Since 1997, it has been housed in the Monastery of Santa Maria de las Cuevas, also known as La Cartuja, a space renovated for the Universal Exposition of 1992.

It was inaugurated on January 1, 1998, although it was created in 1990, and it is one of the main venues in Andalusia for contemporary art, both through its permanent collection and various temporary exhibitions. The museum houses more than 3200 works of art.

The Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art (CAAC) was established in February 1990 with the aim of providing the Autonomous Community with an appropriate institution for the research, conservation, promotion, and dissemination of contemporary art. Subsequently, works began to be acquired with the idea of taking the first steps in forming a permanent collection of contemporary art.

In 1997, the Monastery of La Cartuja became the centers headquarters, a decisive step in its evolution. This decree involved the modification of its statutes and the transformation of the CAAC into an autonomous organization dependent on the Ministry of Culture, which took over the management of personnel and collections from the former Monumental Complex of La Cartuja and the Museum of Contemporary Art of Seville.

From its beginnings, one of the main objectives of the Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art has been to develop a program of activities that, with a clear educational intention, seeks to promote the study and encouragement of international contemporary artistic creation in its various expressions. Temporary exhibitions, seminars, workshops, concerts, meetings, recitals, film cycles, and conferences have been the communication tools used to achieve this goal.

The cultural offerings of the center are complemented by visits to the monument itself, which houses an important artistic and archaeological heritage, a product of its long history.
